So I had this realization the other day that as a result of selling my soul to the BYU graduate program and an endless array of statistical tests I have kind of lost the artistic side of myself. I used to be like super into music and singing, dancing, writting, and attemtping to paint. I love art, I love music, and I LOVE literature. So after coming to this realization my husband and I went to Barnes and Noble and bought a bunch of books. I read Persuasion by Jane Austin for the first time and I literally finished it in less than 24 hours. I mean it's a good book don't get me wrong, but it is not THAT good. I was just starved for art (some argue that statistics are an art and while that may be true its not really the kind of art my heart is longing for). My new goal is to read some classic work for 30 minutes a day (same as the scriptures!) The next one on the list is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I am super excited!
I like that books are part of the media. They just might be my favorite form ever!

I agree! I don't go a single day without reading "just for fun"! Sometimes you just need a break!!
ReplyDeleteDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! That's a pretty good one, I was a little disappointed with the ending though.
