Why I Love Books

I have always thought that reading books requires a lot of imagination! Unlike movies where what you see is what u get, in books, you can decide how a character looks, you can imagine how the entire story unfolds; and if you're really passionate, you can picture what's being described in the book as if you're in that place, looking at it with your own eyes.

A lot of people say that books can be extremely boring and make you want to fall asleep. I can't understand such people because to me, books are the way I can travel to new worlds, explore the past and future, play detective, have a different career everyday, anything that I can imagine is possible! I can still read my Enid Blyton's, my Elinor M. Brent-Dyers, everything. Some people might call it childish; for me, its a way to de-stress!

I like the classics too - Shakespeare is brilliant and I really love Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice! I think I've read that book more times than i can count. Mysteries like the Perry Mason novels by Erle Stanley Gardner are also fascinating since they're an intense look at criminal law and a new and unconventional protagonist, where we find out how his ethics work and how far he'll go for a client!

Sea adventures by Clive Cussler are another attraction with the ruggedly handsome Dirk Pitt getting involved in life threatening situations in every chapter and a wealth of knowledge about the ocean can be obtained in his books like Raise the Titanic, Cyclops, Atlantis Found, Flood Tide and others!

I can go on and on about all my favourite books so I think I'll review some books each time i post and hopefully I'll inspire people to read books and share my passion for fiction!

New lease on life!

Hi

Its been several years since i have posted anything. My worst weaknesses drove me to silence. Writers block could be one excuse, or change within me, attributed to various factors. But then, humans have always found that the only way to move on is to forget the past and somehow reinvent the essence of yourself so that life looks good again. 

So... i'm back to give life my best shot! Visit this page for thoughts, ideas, and an insight into the ravages of this human brain.

Also... share my passion for Books!
