WHY I ENJOY READING

There is nothing much going on in my life presently. I was reading "The New Moon" of the "Twilight Saga" all over again. And it made me think for a while about my life. In the novel, Bella is confused over her own life about her feeling for her Jake. She thinks about her and my favorite classic story "Romeo and Juliet". She thinks about what would have happened to Juliet if Romeo deserted her. Instead of marrying her, if he had left her, just because he lost interest, what would have Juliet done. Would she marry Paris just for the sake of her parent's happiness? Thinking about this it gave me a thought, what would have happened if Alice didn't see Bella jumping off the cliff. Would it have been "Jake and Bella get married and live happily ever after"? Would it have been the same crazy best-seller as it is now? Would it have been the best movie ever made in Hollywood? Would it have wonderful actors and actresses starring in it?

No. It wouldn't have. That was a story. In real life, there is no happily ever after, as Adam Sandler points out in "Bedtime Stories". But, there are happies, which only last for a moment or two. This is the reason why i am attracted a lot to novels, stories with fiction, fantasy, romance, action, mystery, adventure and all the elements of life clubbed together. But, people rule it out as craziness. I love reading because what's happening in the novel doesn't happen in my life. It might happen, but not what is happening in the book. A book has to end, as has to life. A book ends in a few pages, but life ends after many long years, but still it ends. That is why i enjoy reading. I love to stay in the world where no one can bother you. I just wish i was an element in one of the story. I just wish i could be there and do what they can.
