Before these past few months, my leisurely reading interests for the majority of my life were in real life happenings; historical events, biographies, murderers and corruption. Aside from those sorts of books, I would read mysteries and of the abnormal.

I never found in any of those what I am experiencing now, while I read through my current assortment. And the only way I can truly express myself is through a quote, by Aldous Huxley:

"Take a holiday from reality whenever you like, and come back without so much as a headache or a mythology."

That's exactly how I felt reading "Brave New World", or any of the other books that I have recently finished.

Indeed, I am a little obsessed, and I finally understand. It's all completely clear. And even though it had passed through my mind prior, I hadn't the ability to pick it out and admire it's message.
