Good golly! Holy Cow!

I absolutely love Nicholas Sparks. His novels are not only sigh-inducingly romantic, but they often surface themes so sweetly innocent in all of their dreams and longings. I may be a hopeless romantic, but I want to believe that one could feel so breathlessly swept away by another being that it transforms them completely. That love is the one true surety, the one thing in this world that is concrete. Love can always remain solidified through joy, pain, loss, birth and death. Even when fate may seperate us, our hearts remain embraced, or locked in the eternity love provides.

You can laugh at me, or tell me to remove my rose-coloured glasses, but I am certainly not ashamed to feel the way that I do.

Since honesty is the subject at hand, I have never read a "fantasy" book, such as the Harry Potter series, or the Lord Of The Rings series. As well as modern day "chick lit", as they like to call it. They may not be my personal cup of tea, but I do know the joy that they bring to legions of readers and fans. That is just a wonderful thing, which draws the conclusion in my opinion, they must be pretty wonderful books. Because if a book inspires you, and shapes you in a truly positive manner, I couldn't be more happy for you. Whether that book be War & Peace or Honcho. To each his own, and embrace your individuality.

And keep reading.
