Books: your BF or GF????

Hello again. Well, in my last post, I talked about how books could be one's boyfriend or girlfriend, and I'm sure people gawked and stared and cried out in horror and fainted. Ya, rite. Most of you probably just went by it and didn't give it another thought - but, as always, I could be wrong. I'm sure there was at least one person who thought about the thought - about my idea (for those of you that needed further clarification).

And so, voila! Here is my explanation about the thought that I thought during my thought process on the other thought, which was a thought on the absurdities surrounding the thought of giving a Nobel Prize to Naipaul but not to Rushdie....what a horrible thought.

A book is like one's boyfriend..or girlfriend...let's just stick to bf/gf for the sake of my fingers, which are already tired....

Again, a book is like one's bf/gf because...

• it can keep you company when you feel horrible or are alone
• it can provide comfort
• you can curl-up with it
• a relationship develops between you and the characters (characteristics of the bf/gf) in the book
• you feel sad when it ends
• but you were happy while it lasted
• it triggers different emotions
• it can make you cry
• it can make you laugh
• it gives you pleasure (just the happy type...:P)
• it can make you (want to) throw it across the room at a wall (not advisable for bf/gfs...trust me - not that I've tried or anything...but...no-one wants to go to jail)
• the memory of it (the story) will stay with you long after you've finished it...

but the reason books are MUCH better than bf/gfs is that......(drum roll please)

and this is only if you still live with your parents....

you can take it to bed and your parents won't mind

hehe...yes...so that's books as bfs/gfs for you...

That's it for now, ciao, adios, au revoir....and remember...to be born again, first you must die
