"You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you." - Ray Bradbury

Reading novels can be an escape from reality, but they can also destroy the path back to it. They show you a world where true love conquers all and where the character's life is never dull or uneventful. These stories are often your hopes and dreams put into writing. You engulf your mind in the realities of fictional characters as you constantly hope and pray that some part of their lives will magically become your own. When you close the cover all the sudden your world has a slightly more gray and oblique feeling, even though it didn't seem that way before. So what do you do? You read some more. And when you finish it? You read it again. Over and over. Hoping at some point your life could be as beautiful as the story, accompanied by perfectly chosen vocabulary and page corners so you can save your favorite moments. Life seems better from these pages, its not so big, not so complicated, and so much more enjoyable.
