I am so thankful for books. Long books, short books, classics... a book that gets you so sucked in, so completely immersed, that you completely forget who you are and what your life it. Tracing the details of plot lines, falling in love with characters, mourning their deaths. Walking down to the Great Hall for breakfast with Harry, Hermione and Ron; fighting in the barricade with Marius, Enjoras, Grantaire and the others; sitting for tea with the Mad Hatter and March Hare; sitting in class with Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe. The books pull you in, surrounding you, completing you. It sounds mental, but there are times I need to remind myself to eat, to breath. Nights pass with the thought "Just one more chapter... one more", ending at four in the morning with a finished book.
I am thankful for books.
