Musical Reading

Hello, I'm SuperBookwormGirl and I'm a music addict.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE music, I love every type of music, every style of music, every era of music.  Music to me is a story.  The lyrics are a poem, the music a medium to ensure I have an emotional connection, music is awesome.  To me listening to music is very similar to reading.  The sound has the ability to take you far away to a place that may or may not be real.  The lyrics can tell a story, or suggest a state of mind.  Music is as varied as books, there are genre's, sub genre's, various musicians with various bodies of works, just like authors.

For me there is an even more direct correlation between music and books.  Sometimes when I hear a certain song, it reminds me of a certain book and it's like a quick 3-5 minute super read, seriously cool.  My taste in music is as varied as my taste in books, in fact I have been told that my ipod sounds like 17 different people own it.  Music is just a story in another form with a different medium delivering the artists thoughts and stories to us the audience.  I love the similarities in the two mediums and I love the differences and now I am going to go to an all day concert and gorge myself of music with my Hubbin and then I'm gonna go home and read all the books that the concert inspired me to pick up.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Inspired

I got to spend the day with one of my firefighter/EMT/booklover/awesome friend yesterday and it was pretty great.  We spent some time in the Smithsonian National Gallery of Art and can I just say it was very inspiring.  There is just so much variety in styles, mediums, time periods and aesthetics that I spent most of the time torn between wanting somebody to write a story about certain pieces and running straight home to my bookshelf to immerse myself in worlds inspired by these works of art.

We finished our day of awesome at a concert where again I was reminded how all the different art forms work and compliment each other...and also how much I was again inspired to read certain books.  Seriously the whole day was just one running list of books I now wanted to read because of all the cool things I saw and heard.  I love day's like this that remind me how the whole world fits together so well, and how reading is one part of it.  Go get inspired people...and if a couple of you want to write me some cool stories, even better!  Happy Reading Everybody!
