So, I haven't finished a book yet (sadly...), but these are some thoughts --or a thought, depending on how much I remember--that I've thought about after I read some books. One of them was actually said by a famous Canadian author (Lucy Maud Montgomery). If I remember correctly, she mentioned how that most people who like to read do so because they do not have any true friends. I believe this is true because I am that way. I have friends, yes, but not ones that make an effort to see me, or include me in things. I look at my mother who is also an avid reader, and she was the same way. My boyfriend and ex-boyfriend are readers and they too do/did not have any close friends. Maybe people who do not have close friends and read a lot find friends in the books they read (the characters), or maybe it allows them to dream about a life they wish they could have. Is it sad to read only as an escape from your own life? It is, but it isn't. I mean everyone needs an escape, but it's when the person believes that it's real, that it would become sad, or a true problem.
I forget what other thoughts I had pertaining novels I have read, so this is all for now.
Happy Reading! Oh and Happy New Year!
