books are sexy...
as much as i love to read... i have to say that there is a certain level of stress that comes along with picking up a book. it probably has a lot to do with the fact that i can still act like a 4 year old on a whim, but here is my argument. books unlike they're entertaining contradiction "movies" suck you in and leave a lot more to your own interpretation. movies are pretty cut and dry, or course there is always the typical cliff hanger scene or possibly the shady ending, but books possess these qualities and so many more. most of the time you're free to imagine what each character looks like, what they may be wearing, their facial expressions, etc... now, you are wondering what claim to a stressful environment i am laying before you, well... think about the last really good book you got into, a book that was just long enough to not be able to finish in a day (because really, who has that kind of time) and remember how frustrating it was to have to put it down to go to work, or to bed because you had to work early the next day, or for the myriad of other possible reasons. alas, i am still a strong advocate for a good book, especially with the pending warm summer sun just around the corner to welcome me to sit and peruse a captivating story. so as i am finishing up my current literature, and although i do have a list of options to last a lifetime i ask you to make your recommendation, tell me, what should i read next?
