I love reading. To me it is a way of living not just my life but also through the eyes of others, a way to experience so much more than what is actually physically possible. Good books provide me with new ways of looking at the world, and they transport me into the minds of others in a way that no movies or shows do. Some provide new insights into my own life, and others fascinate me with a whole world of different lives that have been and are in existence.
I generally enjoy memoirs and literary fiction, but am open to reading anything. I realize that many books I've read and enjoyed in the past, I only vaguely remember now - maybe if I can write my own summary/thoughts of the books I especially enjoyed here, I will have solidified them a bit more in my memory - and also give me a chance to revisit my thoughts on them at a future time!
