I think we all like to get away from our troubles and worries with a good book.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Books are up against TV and movies and video games and a multimedia society that is so busy that people don't have contemplative time any more. I worry deeply about this. In fact, I worry about everything all the time. I used to be a punk. All I wanted to do was tear everything down, and that was so much easier.
People - me included - want to get excited about books. Good books are a good thing.
I'm constantly running across people who have never heard of books I think they should read.
I love books. I read voraciously, and I happened to have been fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time.
Books are our umbilical cord to life. They connect us deeply, and with more meaning, to the world. They aren't about escaping from ourselves but expanding ourselves and finding within us the tools we need to survive.
I love books.
We all face difficulties of our own, and how comforting it is to immerse yourself in a book - my book, any book, any romance. It's entertainment, it's escape, and it can even be an inspiration!
I want things to be better all the time. And I tend to get angry about that. Books are an opportunity to vent.
I think good books have to make a few people angry.
I like books that don't give you an easy ride. I like the feeling of discomfort. The sense of being implicated.
