We all read for different reasons, so what we read impacts each of us differently. That is not to say that every book, article, or blog post does not have its own unique personality and tone, simply that our interpretation of those traits differs from person to person. What someone reads as a scene depicting humor, someone else may read as pretentious. We all read for different reasons, some of us read to learn, some of us read because we have to, and some of us read to escape into a world other than our own.
No matter your reason for sitting down to peruse the publication of your preference (ten points for alliteration!), one thing is guaranteed, you're sure to walk away different then when you began. Reading has a way of influencing us whether we realize it or not. In fact this influence may not be apparent at all, instead it may be a little voice in the back of your mind, quietly reminding your subconscious of that time you let your imagination wander into a world unknown; and of the wonders you experienced there.
Because that's what reading is: an experience. And this experience is unique to each and every one of us, constantly changing and never repeating. Say you read a novel two years ago, if you were to read it again today the emotions and thoughts you would take away from it would be completely different than those you took away two years before.
Seeing as this is my first official blog post, I'll trust you to disregard my lack of nifty sign-off such as, "You stay classy internet," or "Goodnight readers." In lieu of such a phrase please accept this epic, suspense-building pause followed by-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :)
