The Library

Libraries intrigue me.  When you really think about it, you can be as smart as you want to be.  Fiction, non-fiction, newspapers, magazines, and pretty much anything else you want to read.  Every single book on every single shelf has a little bit of the authors soul in it, they poured years into them, some are even an authors life's work and only book.  It is no wonder that reading is such an emotional pastime.  How can you read something and not develop an emotional connection to those in the story and the author?  I saw little kids racing around the shelves today so excited to be there.  I want to be that child again.  You know the one I am talking about, the one who is told by their parents to choose a book to take home and by the time the parents are ready to leave the child returns with ten books and a smile from ear to ear.  I want to be the child who lives in their own imagination and does not need Hollywood to picture the characters in a story.  I am going to try not to watch TV for a month and try to regain this innocence towards literature, this love of written adventure and try to reach depths of imagination that has remained untouched for years or even untapped.
