I enjoy getting lost in my head. Its the only way to stay sane in my Job. Which may afford me the money and time to travel but it cost’s me the relationships that matter most. In these periods of loneliness I find myself turning to books as a refuge for companionship. I get to experience the full spectrum of emotions from the lexicon of humanity. The frustrating thing for me about connecting in a real way with characters in a book is my inability to engage, interact and save my friends from the doom that awaits them time and time again… Sadly, Im no Bastian. #NeverEndingStory I hopelessly get lost in a genre and I see how it effects my psyche. When I was reading a lot of English Lit #Dickens #Wilde. I found myself witty beyond compare with a diction of the time. When I was reading Twain #HuckSpecific I developed a slight draw and was totally desensitized to the word Nigger. Unbeknownst to me it crept its way into my daily vernacular now I cant say Vinegar without softening the R. Classical literature is my favorite because it allows me to time travel but I’m finding myself trying to find Classics our current period but that could be because Im currently reading Fountainhead by Ayn Rand #Modernism and Im addicted to the Heroine. #DominqueFrancon
