oh my gosh. this book sounds amazing. Totally into the whole greek mythology thing. So cool. (answer to question 3)
Answer to questions 1 and 2:
I love books for many reasons. Many.
Books could go on for days but it's past my bedtime so I'll just say a few things..
They are wisdom, learning, knowledge.
They're words which someone put together for a purpose. They have meaning.
Stories. Need I say more?
Yes actually. Stories are like an escape. It's healthy (I believe) to escape from the real world on a regular basis. This world is too cruel and stories that I read inspire me and give me hope.
They also make you more intelligent!
My life would be more bleak without books in it, it would have been more difficult to learn in school, and my bedroom would have no need for the bookshelves i have in it, which means I would have just a bed a chair and a desk in my room. pretty pathetic.
