book is fun.
book is enlightment.
book is a lonely killer.
book is a cool distraction.
just, book is everything to me!
i'm a big reader - mostly to myself. my keenness on book is a metaphor of my basic need : contenment. me being secured is somehow my ultime concern - and reading is one of the ways to it.
“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”
book is fun. i can simply sit back and feel a little of my happiness when i'm reading. the fun factors about the book include the story (which covers many genres), the characters who are incredibly alive, and even the outer form of the book itself: fancy, and it is always lovable to hold the book while drowning myself into it. a perfect fun!
“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.”
book is enlightment. it gives me a flash of light when i feel so in the dark. it brightens my soul by reading the story and taking life lessons from it. i love the way book can always take me into such a different life of mine that after reading, i feel a state of longing - wanting to be inside of the story at the most. in turn, it only makes me think and act differently from the moment before - surely, in hopes of being a me who is brighter.
“There is no friend as loyal as a book.”
to me, book is a lonely killer. i never mind being all by myself - all the time. it is lovely not to bother someone else and able to spend my time alone. i can always rely on reading - of whatever kinds: short story, booklet, novel, magazine, encyclopedia / whatever genres: romance, teen, adventure, fiction, fantasy, history, art - simply everything! as i carefully and possessively keep them, i can always turn on them when i need companion. guess what?! they are always there for me - no doubt!
“In a good bookroom you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them.”
book really is a cool distraction. it surely turns my attention to it. i have that attitude of sitting/laying and holding book as if it were the last thing i could have - for hours. it feels so cool. i just love the way it distracts me from everything around me.
“There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love.”
book is all for me. the euphoria it gives me feels so right - just like making me feel the rush of heart beating when meeting my crush, the longing of his presence, the cheer of hearing his voice, the chill of first date, the lovey-dovey of being near him, and the bliss of having him in my life, and - above it all - seeing nothing but perfection in him. superb!
“So many books, so little time.”
it truly is!
