Changing Into a Literary Character

Which character will you be changed into today? Perhaps Alexander Portnoy or Bilbo Baggins You should take note of the way you read and not become part of a story you didn't like After all - you are not a fictional character You are something real like the earth, sky and moon You exist in real time Reading is a nice way to fantasize Don't get caught between the pages You'll find yourself crashing into the dark waters of unreality Adrift in a sea of dreams you'll get lost and you won't be able to escape Do you really think you can find a way in and out of a made up world? Good luck to you with that one

This is so true, Matt. People do get lost in what they read sometime...especially people addicted to those cheap romance novels, etc. They're good for entertainment but the line has to be drawn between fiction and reality. Thanks for sharing. Always, Annalise
