So, As you know (or maybe not) I work in an Autobody shop. I had a customer come in for an estimate on friday and she had a book. I commented on it and we ended up getting into a long conversation about reading. Its weird because she was probably 30 years older then me and we were able to connect on the fact that people dont read anymore. Its the technical age and books arent warranted as entertainment anymore...why? The imagination isnt needed when video game companies and movie makers do all the work for you.
We got to talking about authors and the types of genres we like and she told me that she had a freind who was an author and was in the hospital. This freind was alive during WW2 and had written a book about her struggles growing up in a community where the germans were once their neigbors and freinds to the Germand being hated because of Hitler and how she escaped being carted off to Russia to be enslaved when the war ended. This is so exceptional to me because she never had it published, but she has written something that means the world to her, something that you can never take away from her, her expierences. Thats amazing to me. I would love to write a book, and maybe one day I will. But for now... I will continue to read everyone elses.
Keep on reading!
