A book is an escape from the world. It lets you focus on someone else’s life while yours continues in whatever way it does. Whether you have issues with life or you are one of those “I’m really happy to be here” people, a book is still the best way (besides going on vacation [possibly for free]) to escape from the bland day to day life. It lets you imagine things you never would have thought of. It makes you think differently. Builds your creativity. Books are like the universe. Full of endless possibilities and always changing. The fathom-ability of a story is only limited to how you explain it. Truth could become truth in an instant. And the nonfactual can become factual. Just write it and it becomes part of the bigger picture. How do you think fairy tales and myths got started? I remember reading a quote somewhere, "Write the book you always wanted to read." or "Write the book you could never find on a shelf." Something like that. Anyway, it's the reason why there are books. The best part about them is that, even though according to Christopher Booker there can only be 7 plots, they are all different stories. They all tell a different story. It’s important to learn about those stories! You learn from other peoples mistakes (now I sound like a historian professor, lovely). You have a lot of stress? Read a book. =)
