I’ve been thinking a lot about how much literature I actually read outside of class and it really has put a new perspective on things. I want to read more literature by authors that really have something to say like C.S. Lewis. I’ve only read one of his books and already I’m hooked and want to see what else he has written. I know that he wrote the Chronicles of Narnia and I haven’t even seen those movies but I know they did very well in the box office and a lot of people that saw it told me the movies were really well done. I’ve talked before about how movies really don’t give justice to the authors words on the page and I think this is a motivating factor for me to read the books before I see the movie. Literature has not been a big part of my life except for the fictional stories when I was younger and then some Christian writings as I’ve gotten older but I just feel like I’ve missed out on some good literature. I thank God for the opportunity to be in school and read the literature I have. But reading the book by C.S. Lewis has challenged me to read more and more literature that is going to further my education and be beneficial to me being social when it comes to literature; such as when we went to breakfast and spoke in groups about literature that we had read and that had made an impact on our lives. I want to be able to do that more and I can now a little more because I’ve read one of Lewis’ books. But again I feel like I just need to grow more in reading more literature and to become cultured a little more in the literature realm.
