Last night, because my older brother was away, we watched Little Women, and it is such a great story! Sad, but funny, and just amazing. It wasn't a really accurate depiction of the movie, but it was still a great movie. My little brother and sister have never read the book and they still really enjoyed it!

When you read a book, is it like you are just reading the words on a page, or is it that you are looking through a window into the bookland, or is it that you are actually walking around, living the book with the characters. One way of putting it is that a story is like a door. Some people read like they are looking at a shut door. Some people read like they are looking through an open door. I read like I'm through the door and walking around. I don't know anyone else who reads like that. I know a few that read like looking through the door, but no one who goes through the door. Then again, I haven't asked many people. My little brother might by a walk through the door person if he read more, and read longer books with more in them, but he doesn't, so I can't tell yet. I'm hopeful.

I have not actually read any fiction yet today. I've been really busy with schoolwork, especially Maths. Maths is one of my most disliked subjects. It can be interesting, and some bits are awesome fun, but some bits are just so long and boring. Still, it's not too bad, just boring.

Have you heard the song Reality by Newsboys? One of my favorite lines is "Can you find a better photo for the milk carton backs?". It's awesome.
