We are now five days into the month and so far, my daily challenge is going well. I have made time every day to read. As simple as that sounds, it's a big deal for me. I love to read. Something that has increased with age, to be honest. But these days, I love the escape that it gives me from everyday life. I can go anywhere and do anything within the pages of a book. Having that time every day to transport myself into someone else's life, someone else's world, is very liberating for me. But I have not always made the time for it. This month, I am changing that. Every year I do the Good Reads reading challenge and set the bar high for myself. I have never accomplished my goals in that challenge but this year, it is a definite possibility that I will succeed at it. Go me!!
I love to read biographies and autobiographies. Especially of actors because I know their work and reading about their lives only deepens my appreciating of the art that they have created. I wanted to start my February daily challenge with a biography. For my birthday this year, Michael gave me a copy of Tim Curry's autobiography, Vagabond, A Memoir. My first exposure to Tim Curry was in the movie Clue. It is one of my favorite movies and I have seen it thousands of times. It never gets old to me. Wadsworth, the butler, is my favorite character and Tim does it so well. Since then, I have seen him in other films, and I always have enjoyed his work. So this was a perfect book for me to begin this challenge. I am already almost halfway through the book which is pretty fast reading for me. I am pleased with my progress and am really enjoying the book itself. He has just finished up filming Rocky Horror, so I am very interested to see what lies ahead! I'll keep you updated!
