anxious people

I'm reading a book right now called "Anxious People" by Fredrik Backman and listen to this passage, "It was a day completely devoid of weather. During some weeks in winter in the central part of Scandinavia the sky doesn't seem to bother even attempting to impress us, it greets us with the color of newspaper in a puddle, and dawn leaves behind it a fog as if someone has been setting fire to ghosts. It was, in other words, a bad day for an apartment viewing, because no one wants to live anywhere at all in weather like that" (btw, I have other more favorite passages but didn't want to give anything away). And I'm finding that I keep stopping in my reading just to pause and savor the delicious writing. Isn't it so fun to read books by great writers? Don't you love good imagery and poetic phrases and the way some authors can just perfectly capture the exact feeling of something you've felt too? Ah, books! My favorite places to jump into an escape and feed my creativity with good writing.
