I didn't really know what I wanted to talk about but then I saw the cover of the book I'm reading at the moment - J.K. Rowling, the biography by Sean Smith - and I thought about explaining what the other part of my life is, beside photography.
Books, Stories, Letters...
It would be kind of awkward if I don't like to read when I'm hosting my blog for more than a year. But what made me to love letters so much? I actually have no idea. It just happend.
I don't exactly remember what the first book I ever read was, and that's one thing I regret so much.
But the first book that I remember was Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets. I read it when I was like ten years old? We were on vacation on the seaside and I read it while I was sitting on the beach with my parents.
Right then I wasn't really into books the way I am now. Ofcourse not, I was a child and I had other things on my mind like playing with the girl next door and crying when I couldn't get what I want. That's how most children are, that age.
But years and years later I started to read more and more. In school we have like four reading- assignments a year, but that is something I don't like. Simply because I don't like to read on pressure. I've always been a slow reader, a book of 300 pages I read in a month, other people read it in a week or less. When I'm reading I have to concentrate and read pages again.
The books that changed my life the most are definitly the Harry Potter series of J.K. Rowling. As a ten-years-old child you're amazed by the wizards and spells they use and just the fact that our favorite character beats the villain - Voldemort - every time again. But when you're older you look deeper into this story and you find everytime something new, something we haven't seen the last time. And we start to realize, everything happens for a reason and we start questioning. For example, why is this boy called Harry Potter? Who are these characters based on... Why the hell did Joanne start writing about a wizzard with silly glaces?
These questions are the reason why I'm reading her biography now, to find some answers. And these story is getting even more deeper than I ever could imagine, this could only been written by a genious... So one thing is absolutely sure, Joanne Rowling had a hard life but now she has the pride and everything she deserves. That makes her one of my favorite writers of all time.
"I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses ... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even put a stopper in death — if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach."
