In the middle of last night I finished The Little Prince.
The story was so touching and sad and lovely. It made me want to just drive through the night with nothing but the stars and my music and cry.
I don't know what it is but good books mean so much to me. I learn so much about I don't even know what. People? Lifestyles maybe? Lessons my experiences won't teach me? I wish I could live in so many of the stories I read. Sometimes I wouldn't even care to be involved in the story, but just to live in it. I love being surrounded by books and smelling them and organizing them. Maybe that sounds weird...
I want to be in a reader's circle or book club, or just know some people to discuss the same books with who love certain ones as much as I do. There are so many novels that exist, I need to read quicker so I can read more in my lifetime because there will always be more books to read. And I never want to get rid of the ones I especially love because they are treasures to me, simple ones that make me happy because they are like held secrets that can only be learned by reading through every word. And sometimes I won't understand everything. It's just amazing to me how someone can go so deep into their mind to create such a thing. And books written a long time ago are still around and throughout my lifetime always will be.
I love reading, I can't wait until someone asks me about books, and I can't wait until I can read to my kids! I will definitely read them The Little Prince.
Reading brings me so much joy and comfort, I wish more people understood the joy of reading. Maybe I should write a novel? It would last forever, and if it were good then it is something from me that will be left behind for others to love. That would be so amazing!
I just want people I know to understand how much I love to read.
If you have not read The Little Prince, I highly recommend it.
