Gosh, I need to get better at this whole blogging thing. I was obsessed and then I just ditched it...like everything else I start. I guess I felt like I didn't really have much to say now that I'm at home and have been doing basically nothing. In the last few days I have read 4 books and am half way through my 5th. Yes, I have had that much time on my hands. I would like to say however, that The Hunger Games Trilogy is very gripping. I couldn't put any of the books down. I had all three read in 2 1/2 days. They are a little bit on the disturbing side, but alas I loved each and every page.
Sometimes I find books that have a touch of a scare factor keep my interest the longest. Not in the usual sense. I mean I don't like horror. I like seeing people in new lights. It's the same as studying history or watching television, it helps me figure people out. I'm always fascinated by how far people can go, how crazy someone can get or how one person can make such a difference in the lives of so many.
This is one of the many reasons I find myself drawn to art, history, television and literature because I love to look into other people's worlds. I recently had a friend ask me what I loved about film. I told him that it was my way of understanding people, my way of looking into worlds that I would never encounter otherwise. Honestly, I'm not sure if I had ever really realized that was why I love film so much until then. After that conversation I realized that was really my reasoning for being interested in anything. People are the most interesting thing there is.
