For all of those reading this blog for the first time, I figure it is best for me to explain myself and my purpose. Language is the bond that holds us all together. Whether it be nonverbal or verbal, two people cannot forge a relationship with each other without some form of language. Because of a connection that someone can make because of language, it is common for someone to form a relationship with a good book. When we read a well-written book, we become attached to the characters, form relationships with them, the protagonists become like our friends and the antagonists become our own enemies. We begin to take elements from the story and tie them to our own life, the characters lessons become our own, the setting becomes so familiar to us that if we walked into a similar location we would instantly be transported back to the story. A scary story will make us pull the covers even tighter around ourselves, and romance will make us swoon, and an adventure will make us want to climb a mountain, go sailing, or participate in a car chase.
This blog will explore books that I have read, my opinions, as well as others on the books. Of course, I will also address the role of the media with books since so many books are being translated to the big screen these days. I will take suggestions of books I should read, as well as throwing in a couple of odd balls. Be prepared for spoilers. I hope you enjoy.
