*w* yaaaaasss we should have bookclub togetherrrr -sparkle eyes-
oh yeah i forgot le petit prince was getting a movie!! ahhh its such a great book. for french class we had to do something creative and I painted him and dressed up as him xD my best friend has read it as well since we were in high school french together ~ (although we didnt become best friends until after high school lol)
thats totally understandable. i have loved harry potter since i was a kid, so even all that filler stuff is incredibly interesting to me, even if ive read the series countless times. (': im a ravenclaw for sure <3 how bout you?
i loooove a series of unfortunate events. i think i have strong ties to books i started reading when i was younger ehehe
it is funny you ask about my favorite books, since ours are obviously not even close to the same. (x my favorite series are the two I have already mentioned! hahaaa. for me, i do appreciate all sorts of writing styles, but i am all about feelings. and emotions, and how i feel while reading something. that is what is most important to me, and what i base my interests in books upon. its an experience for me, im very good at throwing myself into each world or universe as if it were my own, which a lot of people dont understand because i am deeply affected by anything i read or watch or listen to. i love characters and their stories, i love being a part of them.
ive ALWAYS loved books - when i was a kid i had a goal to read all the books in the world. what a silly kid i was, ahaha i had no idea how many there were!! (x however, when i started reading harry potter that is probably when i really started dreaming. and imagining myself in these worlds, experiencing everything. books used to be my escape, because i didnt know how to deal with my feelings when i was younger.
i love a series of unfortunate events because it was always interesting to me, and the main characters hardly ever prevail, everything sucks for them most of the time. but they value their relationships with each other, and they get through so so much and they are CHILDREN it just blows my mind, i suppose because its a little more realistic to me. Though there are many fantastical sort of things that happen in those books, its closer to real life than fantasy I feel, and i am also just a fan of the writing style. (x
but yes, i will definitely be searching for the "Thief" series soon as well as the Merlin saga. hopefully the library system here has them. i wonder where my library card is... i better find that. im also not sure where the library is in the city :o i hope its in good walking distance... ima google it OH JOY its only 0.8 miles how lovely! thats maybe a 15 minute walk... hmmm maybe ill go there today
they sound like lovely books. i do enjoy plot twists and such, but i dont much mind when a story is somewhat predictable. I still have just as many feelings xD lol but i do enjoy that feeling of completely unexpected events.
yeah my eyes hurt if i am in the sun too long, which is a shame. i blame it on being a chemist! every summer i spent in the lab all day long, and missed the sunshine, my friend~~
i have very awful focus nowadays so it is much more difficult for me to just read whenever. but i love to go outside when it is nice and read, or in car rides or sometimes i just hang out and read... but its not nearly as often as I used to! though i know it is much more often than my best friend and now roommate >P -keeps bothering her to finish the fellowship lol-
ive probably seen that pokemon movie 15+ times and I STILL cry everytime sooo. xD thats nice that you have good memories about it~ I basically cry when I experience anything. im very sympathetic towards all characters heh or even the themes affect me, or if something is so so beautiful. have you seen the movie Song of the Sea?
I didnt expect it to be so so sad, because the book basically tells you parts of the ending before you get there, but it still destroyed me. but i am incredibly interested in the holocaust, perhaps i just enjoy being sad, who knows? i took a class called Holocaust and Gender in college. It just. I think about the holocaust a lot actually. it blows my mind that something like that actually happened. that slavery actually happened. that all these things have happened in the world, it makes me so so sad to see how humans can be. i dont want them to be that way... I don't know if you listen to Marina and the Diamonds but theres a great song called Savages and some of the lines go
"Were we born to abuse, shoot a gun and run
Or has something deep inside of us come undone?
Is it a human trait, or is it learned behavior"
and i swear she pulled that right out of my head, its something im always thinking of, and wondering . how could humans do such evil things, i dont want to believe that is the nature of us, but i have no proof against this, yes some people are lovely and kind and good but then why do we have all of these awful awful things happening all the time, throughout history and even now, will we ever learn...
im sorry i didnt mean to ... get so serious so quickly. but the holocaust affects me so much, and it makes me think about so many things... I will definitely check out Briar Rose, thank you.
as a side note, thanks for writing walls of text with me, a lot of people dont then i feel bad for saying so many things (x
