Greetings ladies, I want to tell you that I liked this week's topic, especially because it reminded me of something I constantly repeat to myself, to get back into the habit of reading... Now, moving on to the question.
Saludos ladies, quiero decirles que el tema de esta semana me ha gustado, en especial porque me ha recordado algo que me vivo repitiendo constantemente, volver a retomar el hábito de la lectura... Ahora, pasando a la pregunta.
For those who would rather read than write, what are your current favorite book reads for that little "mental escape" or enlightenment? What got you into this book and why?
Actually, to give myself a mental escape, I don't have a particular book but I do have a favorite reading genre, the narrative genre, I like it a lot because I'm more into novels, short stories, tales, etc. I've tried to go towards poetry because I also love everything that has to do with romance and drama but many times I find myself confused because poetry often seems subjective, we can think that it means something and we wouldn't be sure of knowing if the author really wanted to convey that, in some cases, and I don't like to stay with uncertainty, not knowing if I'm interpreting something well or worse yet seeing my interpretation and thinking if something in my head must be failing for thinking what I think.
I remember several years ago I used to use Wattpad and I would read almost anything that expressed romance and fantasy because I like to lose myself in something magical and natural. I started to think about seeing if I have favorite books and for now my mind went through many places but I was unable to choose one in particular. Another curious thing I want to mention is that I always tend to have strange coincidences in my days, with this I mean, for example, today I was talking about Romeo and Juliet, I said that I really don't like it because it doesn't seem romantic to me, in fact everything is tragic and I could say even traumatic, if you are like me who sees the scenes that you read in your head, you will be able to understand that it is really traumatic. Anyway, what I wanted to get to is that then I come here and see this particular topic and I felt the connection between both things, and many times my days are filled with connections like that.
Para quienes prefieren leer en lugar de escribir, ¿cuáles serían tus libros favoritos para lograr un pequeño "escape mental" o iluminación? ¿Qué las llevó a leer este libro y por qué?
Realmente para darme un escape mental, no tengo un libro en particular pero sí tengo un género favorito de lectura, el género narrativo, me gusta mucho porque soy más de novelas, cuentos, relatos, etc. He intentado irme hacia la poesía porque también amo todo lo que tenga que ver con el romance y el drama pero muchas veces me encuentro confundida porque la poesía muchas veces parece subjetiva, nosotros podemos pensar que significa algo y no tendríamos la certeza de saber si el autor realmente quiso transmitir eso, en algunos casos, y a mí no me gusta quedarme con la incertidumbre, el no saber si estoy interpretando algo bien o peor aún ver mi interpretación y pensar si algo en mi cabeza debe estar fallando por pensar lo que pienso.
Recuerdo hace varios años solía usar Wattpad y yo me leía casí que cualquier cosa que expresara romance y fantasía porque me gusta perderme en algo mágico y natural. Me puse a pensar en ver si tengo libros favoritos y por ahora mi mente se pasó por muchos lugares pero fui incapaz de elegir uno en particular. Otra cosa curiosa que quiero comentar es que siempre suelo tener extrañas coincidencias en mis días, con esto quiero decir, por ejemplo, hoy estuve hablando sobre Romeo y Julieta, comenté que realmente a mí no me gusta porque no me parece nada romántico, todo de hecho es tragico y podría decir que hasta traumático, si eres como yo que vas viendo las escenas que lees en tu cabeza, podrás entenderme que realmente es traumante. En fin, a dónde quería llegar es que luego entro aquí y veo este tema en particular y sentí la conexión de ambas cosas, y muchas veces mis días están lleno con conexiones así.

No doubt reading creates that kind of mental connection, I'm sure that the interpretation you make is the right one my friend, it happens to me that when I don't understand what I do is reread and yes, the story of Romeo and Juliet is very tragic,

When I was working as a community visit nurse I had time between visits and often fill my time reading at a coffee shop. A used Books store was walking distance away and I find various paperback for as low as 25 Cents, that's cheap reading. It can get a little addicting, Ha ha! Sadly, that Book store went out of business. Now I regularly get www.bookbub.com feed on my phone on electronic book titles. I prefer the feel of paperbacks.
!LADY Happy Reading @josehany 😀
