Day 133

          I've realized how difficult it is for me to be friends with people who don't love to read. I absolutely love to read. I actually have to prevent myself from reading during the school year, because I ignore my homework in order to read. There's something about reading that soothes the soul. After I lost Squid, I did nothing but read. No one could pull me out. I escaped to a world where my problems didn't matter. Recently, I lent one of my favorite books to a friend. I love lending books and seeing what someone else thinks of them. Good books are like good poetry, they speak differently to each person. Books present us with situations that make us question our own actions. What would you do in that situation? Maybe I should join a book club. The problem with that, is that most people don't read the same books that I do and I don't want to get distracted from class. Yet, it might be a fun hobby. I'll have to look into that. Go read a book, and then give it to someone else. Let me learn what they need to learn.

Lesson:

Good books are like good poetry, they speak differently to each person.
