"Books are a uniquely portable magic." ~Stephen KingLiterature is one of the many great arts but it's my personal number one. Genius consists of fact that through writing it's possible to express everything: feelings, thoughts, worries, etc.
What I appreciate the most is my personal feeling of escape. When I'm reading a book I find myself in totally another world. I instantly forget all my problems and banality of this (for me personally) boring world we live in.
What inspire me a lot about books is of course their authors who are able to express everything so beautifully only through the words. I really admire a lot of them for that. Many of the created a whole new world with its own history, languages, species, etc. (for example J.R.R. Tolkien)
The sad fact is that many people in general don't read books at all. I met many who didn't read even one entire book during their whole life! For me it was really shocking information. Some of them literally hate reading not only of books but also of the magazines, newspaper, etc.
Well, I guess I'll never really understand them..
As Mark Twain says: "The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them."
But anyways, here are some covers of my favorite books:
