I find it interesting that I have been subjected to the media through books and have actually sucked up what they were telling me. The most recent episode of this was a few months back when I went on a Romance novel kick. The books were mostly o.k. they got pretty predictable after a while, but I was hooked. I remember putting one of these romance novels down and thinking about why my boyfriend wasn't able to be as perfect as the man in the book. I mean if she can have it so can I.
I eventually decided against reading Romance novels because I figured they were a bad influence. More recently I've come to the realization that my boyfriend has been greatly impacted by The Belgariad. I was rereading it the other day and there was a life lesson in there and I realized that he had adopted almost all of the lessons that were contained within the book.

My mind began to wander in a similar fashion after reading a ton of memoirs over the summer. I sort of began to feel like I was leading a terribly boring life, something that would never even be able to fill every page of a two-hundred page book.
