Do I have any favorite books? Yes. I love books and am in love with the idea of books. Having the chance to read makes for a lovely get-a-way. Nothing compares to being able to picture the scenery, characters, and basically everything that is within the pages of a well written piece of literature.
How does one go about envisioning a story? All it takes is a wee bit of an imagination. It is like going to the movies only better because it broadens one's vocabulary, there is no positive or negative influence of a movie director, and it is just better.... :)
Peter Pan is my all time favorite book.
J.M Barrie's idea about kids not having to grow up fascinates me, I guess. Staying young forever and growing old both could be considered curses and blessings.... I like to think about all of the different factors and then try and picture myself as Wendy. I often wonder, if I were her, whether or not I would have stayed in Never Never Land or decided to grow up.
Anyways, it is such a magical little story and every time I read it, I feel like I am reconnected to my childhood. It is a nice little reminder that I don't ever want to lose such a connection, ya know?
Plus... Any story with pirates, mermaids, fairies, flying, magic, and fabulous word usage (i.e. "Proud and insolent youth, prepare to meet thy doom!" "Dark and sinister man, have at thee!" (doesn't that just make you want to whip out a sword???)) is bound to win my favor.
