"We Read To Know We Are Not Alone" - C.S. Lewis

I love to read. Simple as that but I'm not the type of person who can pick up any book and read it and enjoy. It has to be fantasy/fiction because that's about all I like. My favorite series now are The Vampire Diaries and The House of Night Novels in that order. I love reading books like that but I hate reading boring books. Aka "educational" books. I love fantasy fiction because reading is *My* muse. Just like when people get angry or upset they drink, listen to music, dance, etc. Its my thing that makes me forget everything and get sucked into my own place. Because the books I read make me forget this world, escape, and think for just that long that we live in a fantasy world where everything is magical and believing in magic and something more. You can tell just by watching me read how much I love it. I laugh a lot and even cry a lot because I get so into it. Its the one thing that makes me escape this world. These books inspire me. People may think I have a great life and get everything I want and I'm just bitching but I've been through stuff, too. I know its not the same as others but that's just it. *I* have a semi-normal life but that doesn't mean that I'm unaware of the things other people go through. Things that terrible people do. I love to read. It helps me cope. "We read to know we are not alone" has a lot of meanings to me and it has to be one of my favorite quotes because I can relate.
