I have been a reader my entire life. Fiction and non-fiction, I’ve always been a bookworm reading generally realistic topics. . .
I can honestly say that, for the first time in my life, I immediately reacted to a book by slamming it shut and involuntarily yelling “WHAT?! WOW!” to absolutely no one but myself.
For context, this reaction was brought to me by finishing Tom Clancy’s Patriot Games just now. I’m reading through the Jack Ryan series for the first time, and the action in this story just had me hanging on every word. [Marked spoiler just in case, to be safe.]
Anyone else ever had that rush/joy after finishing a read? Tell me about yours! Coolest thing I’ve experienced in awhile. May we never, ever lose the beauty of books in this digital age.
