2.16.09-Worlds within Words

For those of you who care about my physical well being, I am feeling much better than yesterday.  However, I was still confined to my house all day...again. Thank God for television and the Internet. And books. Having clear sinuses has cleared up my views on books:

Books are great.    {accept for all of the ones that aren't, such as:

   Lord of the Flies

   A separate Piece

   1984   

these are some of the worst books of all time, and if you can help it, never ever under any circumstances read even a sentence of any of them!!!}

Anyway...Books are wonderful. Some can be boring, or maybe even somewhat bad, but for the most part, they are good. This applies especially to those with good imaginations. I had a lot of time to read today and I, having at least a fair imagination if I do say so myself, found myself deep within the stories I read. I think that it is amazing how, if you let it, a book can completely consume you and you become a part of it. Its thoughts become your thoughts, and the memories and actions of the characters become your own. Your opinions on certain subjects can be altered by books. Some books could even change your life. And, behind every book like these is a brilliant writer. maybe someday my words can have this sort of affect on others.

Go get some sleep, you insomniacs!
