That's a paraphrased quote from (oh damn, the name escapes me at the moment) Anyway... It's from the Watch series that starts with "Guards, Guards!" (Yes, that's the dragon one.) The one after that is about the 'gonne'.... which is called... Men at Arms! Yup. That's the one. Men at Arms.
I'm so sorry I haven't been reading more. Reading makes me feel good, and I can ignore the fact that I have no friends, or am without a job, or that I'm basically a useless human being that no one loves.
...
Sorry. A touch of melodrama there.
But yes, reading affects me. I can identify with the protagonist and forget that I'm penniless, bored or lonely. It takes up time, it teaches you things. You laugh, you cry, you are... transformed. And for just one afternoon, you are no longer you.
I need a good laugh. I've been smiling alot thanks to late-night conversations with friends, but so far, laughter? Rare. Yet books provide this lovely service for free, and effectively too.
Yes. Reading is good for you.
