Influenced by the media....

So, I have just finshed watching a TV program called Fry's planet word, it's really good but it has made me look ast my self a little differently deep, I know. This episode was about books and libraries and how they have influenced the world and how they are magical. I think the exact same thing, however all the books that he was reading and quoting and saying that had influenced his way of thinking were all classics and well known interlectual books well known by everyone. I have always considered myself a book lover, I love to read and to find information from books however I am not a great fan of the classics and instead prefer to read endless amounts of American, mostly, books about romance and boys and teenagers in other words books that my mum calls trash. I was wondering whether any of you other book lovers feel the same way? I understand that Stephen Fry is very interlectual and soaks up knowledge like a sponge howwever it has made me question whether I actually do enjoy books or just the hope that they give me, they take me away from the sometimes stressful world that I live in, and they make me believe that maybe I do have a chance.......

There is a quote that I found that sums up books perfectly : Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accesible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.
