The Magic of Reading

"Girls are apt to imagine noble and enchanting and totally imaginary figures in their own
 minds; they have fanciful extravagant ideas about men, and sentiment, and life; and 
then they innocently endow somebody or other with all the perfections for their 
daydreams, and put their trust in him." 
- Honore de Balzac, "A woman of thirty"


Sometimes I feel like the Internet has taken over my life, sometimes it is nothing more than boredom

 and fatigue. In those moments, everything I need is my relaxing playlist and a good book.

I mostly read books about history, myths and chronicles; ancient literature, philosophy, multiple cultures

and their traditions, and books about secret societies. As you can see, this selection isn't very easy to read,

thus I should always be concentrated and mark every idea i find interesting with a neon yellow marker;

however, as much as I like this kind of literature, sometimes when I am depressed and stressed, a good novel 

with a Late Macchiato or Earl Grey Tea  is the best option. There are only a few authors in modern society

that I read and like, such as Chuck Palahniuk, Dan Brown and, as cliche as it might sound,

Paulo Coelho.  Great authors like Honore de Balza, Leo Tolstoy, Stendhal, Charles Dickens, Fyodor 

Dostoevsky, Jane Austen, Alexandre Dumas, Moliere and many others, for me are an all time 

selection. I especially enjoy reading the original, with the archaic words they used, written on an

old yellowish paper, with a hard cover.   

My sugesstion to you is to always have a book in your bag, because you never know when there is going

to be a gap in your time table, maybe in a cab, while waiting for someone at a cafe, or before the ballet starts

(as it happened to me last Saturday).
