| “A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy.” |
 - Edward P. MorganI chose this quote mostly because I find it just so true. The fact that you can explore thoughts and they can't hurt you even if it turns out it is the worst ever. The fact that no one can bother you in a book and all the stuff in the the book is private even if other people read the same book they can't know what you're thinking about the book. You can think whatever you like whether it's inappropriate or not that smart, it is and always will be private. You can do so much with a book and nothing can ever happen no matter what. Your imagination can run wild and a book is the only place where you can do this without you being forced to ask yourself "but if I do that, what will happen". |

Because we have all had different lives, and have been brought up in our own experiences, we all approach books a little bit differently than our friends and neighbours. That is what is so wonderful about fiction. You and I can read the same books, but have very different reactions to it. Both experiences however, may be rewarding.
