Book snobs are the worst but I also feel bad for them, like sorry you can’t find joy in a Percy Jackson book or a sappy teen romance novel; you’re missing out on life’s great treasures.

going to the bookstore with my mom is just a constant round of “don’t you already HAVE that one??” and “no i read it from the library and now i want to own it / no you’ve just seen it a lot because i keep pointing it out to you in the hopes that someone will buy it for me / no it just looks similar to the other ones in the series that i already own / no not all books with a sword on the cover are the same book / ok fine yes but i don’t have it with this cover”

Imagine Tris going to Heaven and finding Augustus there, and she is like WTF Caleb, “I died for you-AND ARE YOU SMOKING?”

I don’t want to spend my life like this in a room full of darkness. I’m tired of sleeping most of the time just to escape reality. I can’t take this anymore I want to be free and go on adventures. Travel and experiance the world that I haven’t seen yet. I don’t want to die here in despair, all I want to do is travel and explore the world.

Readers

           Why do readers read? They read not because they need to, but because they want to. They read not because someone told them to, but because they chose to. They read because they want to understand things deeply rather only know what their meaning is.

           People say readers have no life. They couldn’t be more wrong; in fact, readers can have thousands of lives. They go on adventures. Adventures most people don’t care about. Adventures they laugh at and say ‘they’re only a waste of time’. Readers don’t get mad at you for that, though. They feel pity towards you and feel sad for you because you can’t experience the marvels of reading a book.

Readers have the special ability of escaping from reality. Readers can travel through time. They can experience the wonders of living in a world which is different from the world we know. Readers know a lot of things. They do not just read, they learn.

           Most people don’t understand readers. Readers are sometimes emotionally unstable. Whenever the characters feel sad, they become sad too. Whenever the characters feel happy, they feel happy too. They feel sadness for a character that lost their battle or happiness for a character that won theirs. Readers don’t watch a battle from above; they are included in the battle. They have a special connection with the characters, a special, unbreakable bond.

           Do you know how hard it is for a reader to close a book and end its story forever? Whenever a reader ends a certain story, it is like leaving something important behind.  A reader’s companion through life is books. Books aren’t just useless bunch of papers with words written on them. Books can become a person’s life.

           Readers chose a life full of excitement yet a complicated one. A reader can be anyone. If you are willing to understand what the true meaning of a certain thing is, which can be only fully understand through the help of books, a reader can be you.

The Truth About Reading

To all those who say they hate reading, there are reasons why WE love it.

  •  It takes us to place that is better than where we are
  • It educates us. I know for a fact many readers will say they learned more about life from books than from school
  • It’s where we meet some of our dearest friends, where we feel accepted in a world and society that automatically shuns those who don’t perfectly conform to it’s standards. 
  • We love to see how a different placement of 26 letters can rip out of fill our heart, how so much can be said with so little words. 
  • But there’s one word, more then anything, that encompasses the meaning of reading, or writing, or the literary world. Possibility. The idea that anything can be possible in a book. That any two people can be best friends, that any two people can love each other. The possibility of being part of a cause greater than yourself. The possibility of magic, or adventure, of friends, is what draws us to books. The simple possibilities. The thought that anywhere, anything, anyone, can be the best they can be. 

it’s what makes writers some of the world’s bet philsophers. And it’s why so many of us choose to immerse ourselves in a different world.
