» Everyday Musings: The Things We Fail to See

thelonesomewanderer:

When I get to read a book, I literally read it from cover to cover. Doing so allows me to immerse myself more in what I’m reading and gives me more time to spend with a particular book. One part I never ever fail to read is the dedication page. Most people skip to page 1 to get going but something about the authors’ dedications seem to put a smile to my face. Most fail to see that these one-liners are indeed stories themselves. Allow me to share with you some of my favorite dedications.
