alexputyourpantsbackon: Sometimes I wonder if people who don’t read truly know what they’re missing. Maybe they just haven’t read the right book yet. To me, there is nothing quite like getting lost in a novel. And I don’t mean just enjoying a book. I mean staying up half the night, hiding it under your desk, reading more than eating until you’ve finished the book kind of enjoyment. In a movie everything is just handed to you, but in a book you can paint the places and characters in your mind however you want to. It is special interpretation belonging only to you. You can experience everything on a much more emotional, personal level. You don’t just see what a character is doing, you hear their thoughts and feel what their feeling. A character in a book, if written well, is more real to me than a character on the screen could ever be.
