I was wondering when the last book you read for pleasure was? When I talk to my friends at school they say that they havn't read one in a few years and some say they have never read an entire book, school or pleasure. For me, instead of TV I read a book. I have read over 13 novels(over 300 pages) in the past 2-3 years and found out that books are better than television for me. a lot of people say reading makes them tired or that they get bored. To them, the words are just that; words. They can't see the meaning and take time to imagine what they are reading. Most people these days need visual stimulization to get a "high".
They cannot get exited about a book because it requires too much thinking, i guess is what it comes down to. My imagination has gotten good enough to where i cant remmember if i saw something on tv or read it in a book. More often than not i read something and get it confused for a movie i recently saw. To me, a book is like a portable tv or dvd player that i can just carry around. that is pretty good considering the price of bargain books at a thrift shop are about $1-3$. Maybe it's just me but I think more people should sit and read a book sometime instead of just watching tv. If anyone else agrees or disagrees drop me a message.
