I just finished reading Eleven Minutes. It is a great book. Yet I feel that it is too deep for me. I want so much to read slowly and savor every word and understand every sentence before I go on to the next. Yet I cant, the urge to rush ahead and to know what is next is overpowering. Sometimes, when I read books, I just rush through it all and dont bother to stop and understand the words I'm reading. Although sometimes these books do speak to me, I still skim through them.
I doubt anyone really understands my love for books, for what is hidden between two glossy covers; entire worlds compressed into a small rectangular space. You open up a book and the gateway to the new world is there. You cry with the characters, you laugh with them and you cringe at their bad moments.
