Emotions Reborn

Have you ever read a book, or wached a movie for that matter, more than once yet feel that every emotion you experience is like the first time you read or watched it? I mean, I just finished Book of a Thousand Days last night for the second time (I literally couldn't put it down) and I felt stressed when the main character was stressed, I felt relieved when she was relieved, and overwhelmed with happiness when she was happy. It was crazy, and yet it made the book more real to me. I felt like I was there in the story and that made all the difference. I will definitely read this book again, but of course I will wait a while and read many more books in between. But back to my main point, I just love books like this. The authors speak through their book or movie and let us discover for ourselves what message we want. Like I've said before, I've read a lot of the same books as my sisters, especially my older sister Lyndsi, and I know that we get different things out of them. Not only because she's a girl and I'm a guy, but because we are looking for different things. And that is what amazes me the most, is that one person can write a book and thousands of other people can read it and get their own interpretation of it. Each a unique and distinct interepretation. Just for them. So, I hope you have found a book or movie that is like this for you. If so, treasure it and keep it fresh in your memory. If not, keep searching. Once you find it it will feel like an old friend to you. Good luck with your search and thank you for your time. Have a wonderful day.
