Which book have you read more than any other?
I have read Pride and Prejudice more than once, apart from that I can’t think of anything. But then I am 69 and I’ve been hiding in my bedroom reading since I was a young child.
The more things changed the more they stayed the same. I don’t mind, books are a quiet friend that doesn’t criticise.
I have favourite authors but apart from P&P, no particular favourite book. I guess like many people I dream of that strong connection, despite themselves, between Darcy and Elizabeth. However, I’ve got enough experience to visualise them throwing things at each other every so often. Romance sells us a false narrative.
I tend to move on with new books, not explore the same highways and byways. I tried to do that in my life too, change things up, got two degrees to get a better career and have more choices. Wrote plays. But life always sent me back into my safe space with a book. You cannot complain about that 🤣, bliss.
I guess that through new books I’ve been able to do what I couldn’t do with my life, find the perfect moment in someone else’s words. Authors seek to do that, the blogs on here are very helpful in any number of ways.
Writers are escapism, ideas, inspiration, and encouragement. You only need to look at the number of self help books, novels with excellent points and inspiration, poems, plays, films and TV series’, to know that out there are thousands of humans seeking to help, amuse, advise, encourage, and bring hope.
Keep writing, keep reading, keep sharing the new and exciting. Especially the reading, where else can you fall in love a thousand times and emerge unscathed? 🤣
Best love
