Reading is a wonderful pastime. There are stories that can transform the way we see certain aspects of life. Books that make us laugh and smile. Mysteries, romance novels, science fiction, memoirs, etc., so many to choose from. The fact that there are so many genres give us variety in picking what we want to read.
Reading can have a profound effect on us. We can read something that changes the way we look at things. Give us a new perspective on something that we may have formed an opinion about, before knowing more.
The reasons we choose to read vary greatly. Some of us read to broaden our vocabulary. Relax and delve into a murder mystery, science fiction, or romance novel. Others aim for an overall understanding and knowledge of different subjects.
Alternatively, some of us just love books! There are so many ways to get your reading in. Hardcover, paperbacks, eBooks and audiobooks. No matter how you choose to read, words have the power to transform.
Can you answer this? What life-altering book have you read lately?
I can be at home Just being all alone Or feeding my brain Breaking the mundane
Books piled from floor to ceiling I’m in heaven, oh what a feeling Abundance of choices, can I pick a genre Something exciting like maybe a crime drama
No, crime fiction I meant Getting the juices flowing Carve me a corner By the window, much warmer
Sun shining onto the pages Aiding through those dull stages Parts of the story already told Scenes we can skip over
Carved corner all my own Selfishly unwilling to share Bound stories from cover to cover Curiosity I wish to discovery
Carved Corner is written for the WDYS prompt by Sadje.
