MY LOVE AFFAIR

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, is the first book i fell in love with. witty and often bitter Holden Caulfield, was so enlightening and entertaining. After reading this book i decided that maybe teachers weren't using books as a weapon of torture. Books became my escape. unable to put a good book down, i often found myself falling asleep and waking with one on my chest. With my new found love, i was able to travel the world, experience new and exciting cultures, was introduced to new styles of writing and so much more. To this day i cannot walk into a bookstore or library without pausing for a moment and taking in its beauty. So many great minds gathering together on selves. every idea, philosophy, theory at my finger tips. it pains me so much that many people don't share my love for reading. there's so much to be discovered between book covers. how can we progress if we do not read? in order to write we must first learn to read, and by reading and writing we develop our speech.  if these arts are given up, all we shall know is the lazy language of Instant Messaging. WITH THAT SAID......
I've decided to write a short list of some of my favorite books. hopefully those of you who are not fond of reading will be brave and read a few. I'm sure you will not be disappointed!!! =) AND...
