Hi!
Long time, no read.
Nothing can make me smile like a well written essay or story or even a sentence. I guess that applies to many of us. What is it about language that is so enchanting? Music does it too. Movies. Photographs. But there is another kind of pleasure in reading, that cannot be derived from elsewhere. A perfect celebration is a good book, cozy room and peaceful surroundings. Sometimes when I am not reading, I imagine myself reading, which is enough to make me happy. Just the thought.
Everyone has a different taste for reading. I cannot expect all readers to be enraptured by an intricate description of a beautiful landscape or by the classic, aristocratic language that transports you to another era or by a flowing, witty and comic dialogue or clearly explained mathematical theorems. But everyone surely is touched by some sort of words. There is one particular type that I have been exposed to, a lot, in the books that I and most of the my-age-people have read AND in the movies and shows watched. The witty-remark-laugh-witty-remark-again-impressed-but-i-will-end-the-wit-game kind. Whoa. Many books use this type of writing a lot. Either because the authors know readers love it or because it is understood that there is a general lack of it in reality (could be solely my case). Then there is a type that describes the beauty in the waves, the elegance in the dew drops and the sound of crickets. It is actually enjoyable when it comes intermittently. But sometimes it reaches the length of three-quarters of a page and then it becomes boring. The classic English one? Honestly, I tried to keep myself away from it as much as possible but being a voracious reader as I am, some did catch my attention. While most people dislike classics, like me until very recently, I think it is mostly because of our pre-set bias that they are considered incoherent. Not only the fiction/non-fiction reads, but also the academic ones can be captivating(No, seriously), given that they are written with a lot of illustrative effort. Of course, there are a lot more categories. But I have wanted to do this for a while now:
