William
Hazlitt argued that books act as "links in the chain of our conscious
being. They bind together the different scattered visions of our personal
identity." And that quote completely encompasses how I view literature. I
am a piece of everything I have every read.
It's called Kelly and Lora Reading and here's the link.
When
I stand in front of my books I see my entire identity spread before me. There
lies my history, a record of my happiest moments and my saddest. And every book
not only shapes how I view and process the world, but they store the memories
of every time I turned to them for… well, anything. My poor copies of Ella
Enchanted and Harry Potter have probably suffered the most damage, but they
were always there when I needed them. Mostly because they didn’t have a choice.
The
bottom line is that like Ray Bradbury I will forever “lurk in libraries and
climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfume” because I can’t
exist without literature and I don’t even want to try.
In honor of this maddening love Ms. Kelly Badger and I have decided to start a new blog dedicated to reading. So if you are interested in discovering new amazing books to read, feel free to follow us from a safe distance
