For Those of You That Think Literature is Boring...

English Essayist Charles Lamb said, "I love to lose myself in other men's minds. Books think for me" - hence the title of my blog. To me literature has always been an escape from reality - the opportunity to lose myself in the mind of someone else. No matter what impediment life may throw at you, you can always bury yourself in a story and possibly even find meaning from it. So, the next time you pick up a book and gripe because you find literature mind-numbingly boring, remember to change the way you look at it. Instead of looking upon a piece of literature as tedious, think of it as an escape - the chance to lose yourself in the mind of others.
