Back to the books!

It's amazing the kind of impact books can have on people. They can convince you of an opinion, teach you, entertain...... I love reading a really good book. When I find a good one, I get REALLY into it. Almost like it's an alternate world. The characters become so real that it's like I know them. They're my friends. And I know it sounds kind of silly to you, and yet, who knows? Maybe you've been the same way...After all, I'm not eavesdropping on your brainwaves as you read or anything! (but then, who knows? If I was I probably wouldn't make you aware of this fact). I always tend to feel really sad though, right after I finish reading a really great book. It's like I've lost all contact suddenly with a good friend, and I absolutely must find something new to read immediately. Yeah, you could say I'm a total addict :-) haha.

But really, I like reading a lot, especially when I've got a really terrific author. Plus, it has that added benefit of relieving my mind of all problems of my own life temporarily. It's also a nice way to pass the time when I'm in the car or waiting for my turn at the computer and whatnot.

The fantasy of Narnia, the action & suspense of the Alex Rider series, the fun romantic comedy of "How NOT To Be Popular"...Just a few of my favorites. Now I'm starting on something new which so far looks to be of the comedy/mystery sort of thing. "King Dork"...it's one of these books where I just see the title and am like "Ok, I've GOT to see what this one is." Funny titles like that just catch me, I guess. Seriously, that is totally my favorite book name I've heard so far. But then, being that I can be somewhat of a dork, how is that not a surprise?
