I can become very absorbed when I am reading, especially when I am reading fiction. It is the mark of a good author that I can become so absorbed: believable character development, authentic descriptions, good plot development. This weekend, I am reading two of my favorite mystery authors: Peter Robinson http://www.inspectorbanks.com/ and Deborah Crombie http://www.deborahcrombie.com/. It just so happened that both books were set near Christmas, and of course, are set in England. I like mysteries set in England.
So, as I am reading, I become so absorbed that "when I come up for air" I am surprised that it is a bright, sunny, hot summer day in West Texas. That is a compliment to these authors!
