But I should say that reading is much better, because books last longer, because there are more good books than good movies, books usually have richer vocabulary and deeper thoughts while movies are usually simplified for an average viewer. So, I hope, I'll become more of a reader in the future:)<br /><br />If to be honest, I'm also reading to escape. I always need to escape at least a little before falling asleep, otherwise I would not be able to fall asleep for a long time. I would just keep thinking about my plans, what I did and did not do during the day and what steel needs to be done... That's why I need escape, and I guess, there is no further escape then a fantasy book. <br /><br />The twilight kind of books, I think, are more about finding happiness in someone else. And I think that it might be like a trap. Women read them for escape, get ideas that their happiness is connected to someone and not first of all to themselves, then they get disappointed by reality which is totally different, and then they need even more escape :). So they keep reading Twilight kind of books :) It almost happened to me. Luckily, I understood that those books are bad for me and about "Kick Ass Female Characters" are good :). Reading about strong (I mean mentally) people (especially women, as a good example for me) also gives some inspiration to rely more on my own forces and not to dream about someone who will come and make me happy :)<br /><br />Longest comment ever :)girlwithambitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17658743733613116820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425684762760214659.post-41601900501909426612012-02-19T15:29:35.354-08:002012-02-19T15:29:35.354-08:00Since I am a voracious reader, one of my favorite ...Since I am a voracious reader, one of my favorite things to do is ask other readers about the books they read. There was a group of young women at the gym discussing the Twilight series. When I asked what other books they have read they stated with their busy schedules and demanding jobs they almost always read books to escape. I would much rather see them reading books with "Kick Ass Female Characters," than the Twilight series.
