Lost in Literature

It is an artists job to use media to change the social fabric of our culture.
We want a world outside of this one, so we turn to the media around us. You go into those worlds, these stories, and bring something back with you. Something unique to you. That's what makes reading such an interesting activity. Each person will jump into a story, and each person will take something unique out of it.
Each person's perception of a story or event is different, and from this difference we get our art.
Art that reflects the artist.
 Story's help us sort things out in a non-intellectual way to sort through our emotions and thoughts, which is undoubtedly why we still have books around.
I think there is defiantly something to the weight of a book in your hand. Most people prefer to have an actual book, verses an online copy. I think we need that weight, that texture. We want to make the experience as real as we possibly can, because we long so much to get lost in it.
Not to be lost forever, but just lost for a little while. Lost so you can look with new eyes and see the wonders around you, like when you get lost in a familiar woods, and because of your lostness everything looks different.
Although we wander, and think we are lost, we always seem to end up on the same pathway again. We have a funny way of returning to our old habits, or old haunts.
For Christians I think that it is just a learning experience for us.
I miss reading, on that note. I miss good fantasy novels, honestly.
Eh. Yeah. xD
