Writing About Reading

I've been reading for many years, so far i have no destinct patern in what type of book i like most, and how i might begin it. Most books i read are given to me. I start them late at night in the sanctity of my room. most of the time i read without any niose, so the authors ideas can flow into my head. But if I'm reading during the day, the noises of life are everywhere, in these cases i but my stereo volume on high and block out everything. When i start i book i like to read the first chapter and see if it really seems interesting enough to consume my time for the next week. If the book does not capture my curiousity I put it down for a rainy day. But if it's required for class I forge through it, every book can be interesting.
When i read somehow i forget about the words on the page, and all i see is the scene distinct in my head. i see all the colors and movment, i make up what the characters and scenary everything comes alive. That's why movies made from my favorite books arent excting or a must see kinda thing. For the most part I've always been disapointed with the actors casted for the main characters. No one can come close to the world authors can create without images, only words. But that was a very long tangent, I'll try to control myself next time.
I read fiction because nothing in our bright modern world, can come close to the worlds authirs create. I've always loved reading about knights and dragons, but when i think about living in those strange worlds, i can't help but cower. A life of fighting is' nt appealing unless it's being read about. I love having my idea of our world challenged by this fictional place that could easily dwell someone hidden by magic. And sometimes life becomes boring or challenging, a great way to find a release and forget your troubles can be waiting hidden in an authors new world.
