The process of comparing my thoughts and feelings with the protagonist of a good story helps me to be more empathetic to others in real life. <br />Lovely blog :)<br />I look forward to getting to know you better!<br />-- And thanks for sharing about Star Girl.Adriana@ClassicalQuesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06718229975590311860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952602041975839869.post-30787825411671074542012-04-30T16:26:49.877-07:002012-04-30T16:26:49.877-07:00I feel just like you about books and the effect th...I feel just like you about books and the effect they can have on us. I love a good novel and lately I have had a hard time finding time to read as often as I would like. I think we learn so much from a good novel. Thanks for learning about one of your favorite books; I will hope to read it.LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952602041975839869.post-54476290963402201182012-04-30T13:16:01.300-07:002012-04-30T13:16:01.300-07:00Hello!

Nothing like it at all.<br /><br />Thank you for this beautiful post. ^_^Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15145777024732747573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952602041975839869.post-79632285696651366192012-04-30T09:48:53.438-07:002012-04-30T09:48:53.438-07:00"But I don't know of anything that can re..."But I don't know of anything that can replace the suspending of belief which enables one to enter into a world of the storyteller's creation, being invited to see inside someone else thoughts and to walk in someone else's shoes. And perhaps learn things that are just as important."<br /><br />I love this. I also tend to put fiction on the backburner, but I too love stories that draw me in to a completely new (and entirely plausible) reality, that leave me dying to wish I could know the characters in real life, or be them myself.<br /><br />I'm glad I read this high praise of Star Girl. I'd never heard of it before but I'm definitely intrigued now.Anne @ Modern Mrs Darcyhttp://modernmrsdarcy.comnoreply@blogger.com
