Have you ever read a book that was epic? I don't mean just any old book; I mean a book that was so astoundingly wonderful and insane and heartbreaking and epic that the only thing you could say after finishing it was, "Wow. That was an amazing book."
If you're an avid reader like me, that question probably brings about twenty books to mind. For people like us, reading is a portal into another world where all kinds of crazy stuff can happen. It's more than a form of escapism, it's a way to learn things about the world- and ourselves- that we never would have known otherwise. That's why today's DLP is to pick up a book (or some other form of fiction if you and words on paper don't mix) and totally immerse yourself in it. Believe me, you're going to love it.
There's only one rule: no tragedies. No "Juliet fakes her own death, Romeo finds her and kills himself, and Juliet stabs herself on her boyfriend's sword." No "The Doctor is forced to remove Donna's memories of time-travel so that her brain doesn't implode." No "Big Bird loses his favorite bouncy ball and can't find it ever again." (If you don't get those references, I am very sorry.) You can read something that's gritty and realistic if Utopianism isn't your thing, but it has to turn out okay at the end. If you're stuck on ideas, check out this list. Whatever you may choose to read, good luck to you, and happy travels.
Cheers!
