People Who Don't Read, Are Dumb Part II.

Sorry, the first part of this post kind of went off on a tangent. I'm just a really passionate person, FALSE. Anyway, so what the point of this post was supposed to be is that people need to read more books, comics, graphic novels, hell even magazines. For every movie or tv show you love I guarantee there is a book/book series that fits the same genre and is probably better than the movie/tv show. For example, say you love watching movies that deal with Kings and Queens and the medieval times. Movies like Lord of the Rings, which itself is a book series, then you should read the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin because it will change your life completely. The Acacia series is also really good high fantasy. Let's say you love T.V. shows that deal with family drama, like Brothers and Sisters, Everwood, Friday Night Lights, or even One Tree Hill (which is a terrible show now, btw) then you should read The Pact or Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. Both equally AMAZING books.

There are also amazing graphic novels and comic books out there that only seem to become popular when the movie comes out. But let me let you in on a secret, for every major superhero movie there is a comic book/graphic novel based on the same character(s) that is even better. The Dark Knight
NO. Reading a book just because you have seen the movie or are going to see the movie doesn't really make you a reader. If you saw Twilight, then read Twilight then read The House of Night novels or the Bluebloods series you are not a reader. You are a FREAK who is obsessed with Vampires, and for the record vampires don't sparkle, they burn in the sun and it's not spelled Vampyre, ITS VAMPIRE. I can understand reading a book because you liked the movie and then reading more books by the same author because you are just expanding your horizons. The only vampire series worth reading Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire series which is what True Blood is based off of, also The Vampire Diaries is a good series but I feel the T.V. show is way better. Same for True Blood.

That's basically all I wanted to say in this post.
Oh and here is my current reading list:
I am reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and then I will read, in no particular order. . .
Dracula, by Bram Stoker
The Other Lands, by David Anthony Durham
City of Bones, by Cassandra Clare
Valley of the Dolls, by Jacqueline Susann
Childhood's End, by Arthur C. Clarke
The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Under the Dome, by Stephen King
The Georgia Nicolson Series, by Louise Rennison
Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand
American Vampire, by Scott Snyder
and Finally
Watership Down, by Richard Adams

Yeesh that's a huge list.
But whatever, I plan on reading most of those this summer if my concert going doesn't get in the way (expect a post on my future concerts soon.)

See ya, wouldn't want to be ya.
