My favorite author is definitely by far George R. R Martin. He’s simply amazing. His writing comes alive in your head like no other books I’ve ever read. Not to mention he can write equally amazing from all character points of view. Weather it be a man, woman or child, king, holy man, or smuggler.
His series “A Song Of Ice and Fire” are completely brilliant. It’s a fantasy series– but very real seeming, and adult. Each chapter is written from the view point of a different character. Sometimes on different sides of the world. So if something is going on– like a war you see all sides of it. Each book is really big too. At least 800 pages, sometimes more. And every second of them is filled with webs of plot twists, turns and secrets. But even though the books are so big they’re so interesting you just cant put them down. I suggest reading them if you haven’t. The series isn’t finished yet, it’s still ongoing and will have seven books. Right now it’s up to 4.
1. A Game Of Thrones
2. A Clash of Kings
3. A Storm Of Swords
4. A feast For Crows
We’re all waiting for the next book to be finished. It’s gonna be called “A Dance With Dragons”.

Ever since I was in Kindergarten I’ve LOVED to read. Library hour once a week was my favorite time of the school week in elementary school. I’d sit there the whole hour flipping through pages looking for what books I was going to read that week. I even had my mom write the Librarian a note giving permission for me to get books from the older age sections.
Reading has always relaxed me in a way nothing else can. Laying down on the couch curling up with a book and a Cider Jack is still the most relaxing thing I can do.
It’s better than watching a movie or TV because the stories come alive in your head, the stories, characters, all pictured in the way YOU see them. Characters can’t be ruined by preconcieved visuals such as in movies. Example: Snape from Harry Potter. In the book I LOVE HIM. He even seems like he’d be hot as hell. Yet in the movie they make him look all old and dirty.
Like Cetta said sometimes we end up comparing people we know to characters in specific series. Espcially from George R R Martin’s “A Song Of Ice and Fire”. But I don’t know if that’s normal or not..
In the same way when I’m reading a book the characters faces sometimes become those of people I know.
Anyway, Reading means a lot to me. It always has.
