thoughts of a butterfly

Darn it I have finished reading 'The beckoning silence' by Joe Simpson.It is so gutting when you are enjoying escaping to another world and then the narrative finishes and there is nothing you can do to get it back.This is what Joe Simpson says about reading:
'There is something about reading that takes you beyond the constrictions of space and time, frees you from the limitations of social interaction and allows you to escape.Whoever you encounter within the pages of a book, whatever lives you vicariously live with them can affect you deeply-entertain you briefly, change you view of the world, open your eyes to a wholly different concept of living and the value of life.Books can be the immortality that some seek;thoughts and words left for future generations to hear from beyond the grave and awaken a memory of another's life'
