I strive to live offline as much as possible and I am a firm believer that, while useful, the internet will tarnish the mind if left unchecked. In an effort to step away from the screen, a new goal of mine is to read more. And what’s a better way than to share what I’ve read than with an informal book club?
I firmly believe that a meadow is one of the finest places to enjoy a good book – thus the inspiration behind the name. Meadows in all their beauty is where one can find solitude whilst surrounded by the peaceful embrace of nature. The warmth of the sun on the skin, soft breeze, and rustling of grasses. It’s a glimpse of heaven on earth.
There are no dates and deadlines. And I have no desire nor the time to create study questions and collect homework. Meadows is merely an encouragement to read something worthwhile.
Meadows will almost entirely consist of classic books. Those close to me know that old books hold a special place in my heart. I have an immense appreciation for letter pressed pages and typography of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And more often than I care to admit, I will comb through antique stores and resale websites searching for a well-kept copy of an interesting classic. I crave a life in another era and while God placed me here for such a time as this, a good classic allows me to transport myself back – if only for a little while.
Follow along & enjoy a good book with me.
