The beauty of a book
I love watching movies. I love the graphical way a story is presented. But somehow I feel not matter how good the movie is, some details can only be conveyed by a narrator. Now obviously it would be very irritating to have a narrator speak when you are watching a movie. But this is something that is very nicely done through a book. In a book you can actually see the whole picture to the minutest detail through the imaginary eye of the writer. A good writer would have the ability to bring alive not only the character but also the whole area around him in your mind by the magical flow of the words, or the art of words.
There are times when I wonder: is it the writer or is it the vastness of my imagination that I am able to bring alive the whole story. May be even the writer would not have imagined what I imagine when I read the book. It is actually possible just as much as you and me can have tremendously different thoughts and feelings of any given thing.
The beauty of a book is however not just limited to the above but can also provide you with an opportunity to escape your present situation without hangovers. Yes, that’s true. While it could be immensely tempting to drink your way out of your depression, the thought of escaping into the world of imagination for hours or even days through a book can be equally enticing. I have to confess that in my very depressed moments I have two ways of escaping: either I read a good book or I shop for jewellery online. The first one is definitely cheaper. I must say, some books are master pieces. And I must admit there are books that I have read more than 5 times. I am not sure if it was an attempt to expect a difference in the sadder part of story or just to go in an meet the characters again.
