Ah... Reading, Writing, and the Undead

Reading, such a wonderful thing! You can go on whatever adventure you want, make friends(or enemies) with all the characters. It's so much fun, I don't understand why some people don't like to do it.
I guess I'm just a dreamer; I like to spend at least half my time in a different world. This little one I live in now is so exhausting. Writing is bliss, a gift from heaven. What better place to spend my free time? Except maybe at the bookstore. I don't even have to read the books to enjoy myself. I think I just like the concept of books in general. They're well designed(usually), they're made of paper, and they can be organized so nicely on a shelf. If you've seen Beauty and the Beast(you should have), you know how the castle has that amazing library? That's what I want to have one day. Forget the house. Just give me a giant library with a cot or something. I'll be happy.
Although, I'm starting to get concerned about the number of vampire books out. The Target store I go to used to have a Teen section. Now it's the Vampire section. Reds, blacks, and ice blues as far as the eye can see. I think the Undead theme is in. Once it was monkeys, then penguins, now the undead. I've noticed an incline in zombie games too; though I'm not complaining because those are fun. Anyway, if it's not vampires, it's werewolves and zombies and all manner of creatures of the night. There's a lot of dragon themed books too. I love dragons, although I haven't read a lot of them that were spectacular. I think I'll write a story about phoenixes. How often is that done? Maybe I'll just stick to what I'm doing right now. Although, I can't wait to write a comedy. A zombie parody...? Maybe!
