lit.

it's book season.

as i was sitting here trying to convey the thought of "learning when to shut the fuck up", i read over my blog and was unsatisfied. not that i didn't get my point across, but it wasn't to my expectations. then, reading over the last blogs i've written (with the exception of two that i really like), i found myself nuetral to my actual writing style. i asked myself whether i've had too much on my plate to write what's on my mind, or whether it was something i ate in april that wasn't sitting well in may. i was clueless.

but just a minute ago, it dawned on me.

i haven't read a good book since "angels and demons", which i completed about two months ago. this isn't to say that i'm an avid reader, but in the same breath, i had gotten quite well at picking up a book. so much so, that i had started to become a recommender - actually having conversations about books with fellow friends and colleages. which is amazing to me being that i wasn't much the novel reader in high school and only kinda one in college (outside from english major requirements). but it makes sense though; i've been yearning for a good book.

recent conversations with laurean (shoutout) have provoked the idea even more. i recently put her onto "the kite runner", and she has been urging me to pick up "harry potter: order of the phoenix", which she swears on several religous text is only surpassed by it's squeal "the half-blood prince".

i must also attribute viridian sun for further provoking this thought. i dig her narratives. i like her stories. and why not? people love a good story. people read good stories. i mean, thank you, i've gotten compliments on just my writing voice in general, but it's the story that really shines in any format or text. if told right, a story can live on for ages.

while i'm at it let me also shout it out to steelpeach, jaj, kjm, and l-dot for just giving me that good input (whether you realize it or not). bloglove.

so with that said, i guess i'm out to pick up "harry potter - order of the phoenix" next week. i'll be selling into the hype. if anyone has any other good reads, holla at me.

have a nice day.
