No shame.

Recently I’ve been asked on multiple occasions why it is that I adore fiction books over classics

and my answer is simple.

I am human. I will always be human.

I experience all things normal in a human sense.

I would rather live a life of fantastic fiction, which I can whilst reading an amazing book.

I live a human life, never to go to some odd ball planet with weird mutations or live as an elf with a dragon companion. 

I will never stand in the Shire or become a tribute in the Hunger Games.

I will, however, be simply, beautifully, human.

Classics and non-fiction are astounding - they will always and forever have a place on my shelf.

I just want to be, if only for a little while, King Arthur as he goes on one of his kingly journeys.

Literary Confession time! What is your little secret about reading?

I want to hear a confession from all of you!

You can either message me your confession, submit it, or answer it on this post.

What is my literary confession?

I don’t really care for classics.

They tend to bore me.

I mean, I respect all of them and love the authors because, well, they’re authors.

But I mean DICKENS. ‘Nuff said.

I want to clarify, so I’m not suspiciously found in a ditch tomorrow, I can still ENJOY classics. I just tend not to. I liked Jane Eyre. I can like others, I just haven’t found any.

Classics just evoke that natural “blow a raspberry” response in me.

My friend recently stopped by my house and noticed my overflowing bookcase.

So I got her reading some of my books.

Today she said to no one in particular: “Man, what a social life I have! I’ve been out of the house for only an hour in the past three days and I can’t wait to get back so I can read!”

My baby is growing up so fast <3

Habits of a Reader

This is torture to the worst degree.

So I’m in a 3D art class funded by “We Love Long Beach”, and the building is soon to grow and take over the entire lot around it.

What’s in that lot?

A really old book store named “Acres of Books”.

There are hundreds of old books in there.

What is the first project we’re doing in this art class?

Re-purposing the books.

I have to tear the books apart to make art.

THEY ARE ALREADY WORKS OF ART.

Beautiful, wonderful books.

My heart is crying.

I don’t think I can take this class anymore.
