I love to read, it has always been a passion of mine. The ability to get lost in another world and to not have to think about the things going on in my own life, is what excites me the most! My mother always read stories to me growing up and I think that has played a big part in my passion for books. Something funny I like to do is re-read old books, I always feel like I catch up on pieces I missed before, and if it was good the first time its always better the second time. Currently I'm reading Dear John for the second time. I enjoyed it very much when I first read it, but also watched the movie and became very dissapointed so I thought I should read the book again just to make me feel better. One quote that I like very much from this book is, "...the saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last...I've found that someone else's happiness is usually infectious." This quote says it all. I agree wholeheartedly with this, in order to truly be happy, a person must be passionate about something. If that can't happen then how is it possible to even know what real happiness is? I also think that if you surround yourself with positive and happy people, it does indeed rub off and creates a better attitude for yourself. It's important to me to read because it makes me happy, I am entirely passionate about sitting down with a new book in hand, opening it up to smell that fresh new paper with all the wonderful text waiting to be enjoyed. It really does put me in a better mood, and I think my husband likes that part.
