Escapes

I swear sometimes I get completely lost in books. The feeling of getting a new book is one of the best feelings in the world. Whenever I feel fed up with the world around me, I pick up my book and get vacuumed into a story. I relate to the characters as if I know them. I feel their pain and their happiness. And when the book is done (which is almost everyday) I feel like I lost my best friends. Reading is the best and worst thing. It's amazing because I live many lives inside my own. However, I hate that reading gives me a false sense of reality. When something happens in real life I get frustrated with the fact that it's not the way it would happen in a book. Bottom line, I love books.
