Bookaholics



Words, sometimes, in some of the books are so marvelous that they can shape your feelings and emotions through a sprinkle of imagination. The writer writes about a protagonist who goes through both pleasant and troubling experiences making it to the end when they have more strength and experience. But in reality, the reader is the actual protagonist and the story is set in the mind directed by words drenched in emotions and carved by the collisions of hypothetical imaginations running in the reader's head about the future with the one actually written by the writer.

A pleasant escape, a hope to exit from the monochromatic world and enter into a world completely made of fiction through the aroma of crisped ink pages which make you curl your fingers and toes in anticipation, sending tingles of spark down your spine, thinking about the protagonist and analyzing how the story could have been completely different if you were in their situation, have you ever felt that? Well, if you have then you are really a bibliophile or the common people may call 'a nerd'.

The pages are lifeless but still a bookaholic finds a soul in them, in those words, which the writer has given birth to and the characters, which are immortal for the readers. They are basically magic, for those who believe in getting lost from the sense of time and surrounding and you become so familiar with the flaws and quirks, that fiction in there becomes reality. And when it ends, they might take time to recover from the depression that arrives.

Here are some of the words for the readers who believe that words are magic:

1) If there is a book written for selectively social people, then Perks of being a wallflower is the one. The ending of the movie made from the book is probably the best endings of all times.


2) 


3) 

4) 

4) 

5) 

As Kafka said, 
"You don't need to leave your room.
Remain sitting at the table and listen.
Don't even listen, simply wait.
Don't even wait.
Be quite still and solitary.
The world will freely offer itself to you
To be unmasked, it has no choice,
It will roll in ecstasy at your feet!"

"For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else in the world. What a miracle it is that out of these small, rigid squares of papers unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you."

-Anne Lamott
