That someday is today.

Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.
--C.S. Lewis

Her shelf bends with the weight of books devoured and conquered.
But, she chews on passages for months, nourished by their beauty.
She is well-versed in classics, can cite and allude to the greats.
She keeps up with the best-selling modernists.
She is considered well-read.
She revisits, rereads, turns back.
She is thought to be juvenile.
She loves the feeling of completion.
She loves words.
She reads to discuss.
She finds friends in her pages.
