–Anyone ever give you the “wtf you lookin at” expression? Ever feel like you’re being followed, you turn, and nothing is there? Or hear things you know couldn’t possibly have heard cause there’s nobody/nothing there to make those sounds?

#1. I will judge a book by it’s cover. It’s no secret that I am indeed a consumer whore, and I will buy things based on how cool they look. So if the book looks cool, chances are I’ll be much more inclined to buy it. And recommend it to friends.

–I will evaluate a book based not just on its appearance, but also its texture and its smell. I must like the feel of a book as I hold it in my hands and put it against my cheek; I must like the smell of the pages as they’re fanned in front of my face.

I believe all books came from movies. I will not falter on this…Aren’t movies I’ve already seen.

–or rather, “Aren’t stories/plots I’ve already watched in a movie.” You could probably assert that every (fiction and non-ficton) book you’ve skimmed through, read, or read about consists of storylines that you’ve already seen in movies. And, it would be quite telling. For instance, I could hypothesize that you are either drawn to genre films or conventional storytelling methods. I might even say that you would agree with the following statement: there are no more (new/original/unique) stories to tell.

And I’m proud of you for reading. You’re doing better.
