Limited


Another day I saw a story in a newscast that said the teenagers in Brazil are reading more than adults. In an interview with a woman in that class (which was not noticed her profession), the reporter asked what book she thought was responsible for the return of the youngsters' interest in literature, and she replied that surely was Harry Potter. Okay, I've always liked fiction stories filled with magic and things do not exist (when I was younger I liked more), but because teenagers can only read it? I have not read HP, but I saw all the movies. But he had another very powerful saga that I read (with the exception of the first book), you must already imagine what it is. Twilight. Yes, the phenomenon also bubblegum stuck in me. I read and I like the story but to tell the truth, which always attracted me more to the story was the romance. Was able to see a current book that there are still people who believe in true love and why not eternal. I think it's beautiful, but I have not read it only as a teenager, I read different books as well.
There's nothing like that other kind of book, but we should not sum up our literary taste for just this kind, we should always be open to posssibilidades, we should always leave us amazed and expand our horizons. For example, when I discovered Martha Medeiros, I could see even more beauty in the writing trade (a). I have to admit that some things I wrote were based on it. She's great, is a writer with great sensitivity, a successful woman and interesting.
I love it.
You can indulge in demand and be amazed at what you find. The books are out there, so different from each other and some so close, waiting for the opportunity to fall into the hands of someone interested.
Knowledge is the one thing nobody can take away from you.
We can not be limited that way. We can not ever hold the same style, same type of music, culture, place, thoughts, the same type of books. This is one reason to want to travel and meet new people: we are always open to possibilities and we want more is that they come to it. I say this to everyone, but especially for young people, because we are a time to suck information, stuff news, and even antiques. We are not yet a fully formed concept of each thing, and that is why we can not act as grumpy stuck "my time" and blah blah blah. Why spend all the time, and that is why you need to take the good things each time, in order to be always living. Not necessarily at the present time, but in time.
