"My thoughts are stars i can't fathom into constellations."

Sometimes i forget about how a book can impact your day to day life, however i was happily reminded of this by a book i read in the Summer. It was a book called 'The fault in our stars' by John Green. The book was full of such beautiful writing it truly reminded me of the beauty of literature. I have now just finished the book for the 16th time... and i still love it! It evoked emotion i did not realise i could feel. The characters have a certain unforgettable charisma. The main character points out something i believe many book lovers can  relate to- that is when you love a book so much you almost want to keep it a secret for only yourself to enjoy. That is what this book is to me. Writing about it here is the first i have ever spoken about it in the 6 months that i have read it. The book has a place in my bed quite literately, it is there beside me at night and i often wake up randomly and passages from it, if not the whole book. What fascinates me the most is how John Green could create such in depth characters of whom everything they say has such a relevant meaning. SPOILER ALERT! The lead male character Augustus Waters- a cancer survivor holds an unlit cigarette in his mouth as a metaphor of holding death between his lips and who fears oblivion. Ultimately one of my favourite books... although i do admit almost every book is my favourite book. 

I have also been reading one of THE best novels of American literature; The Great Gatsby. I am currently reading it as part of my first year A levels. Honestly no words can explain the genius of Fitzgerald. I will most likely be commenting on it or quoting it on many posts. Tomorrow in class we are reading chapter 9 the funeral- needless to say we are all dressing in black to celebrate our fallen tragic hero.
