It's nice to know people still know about the books. :)

My son stopped reading for a while after he read those books because he said he couldn't imagine any book being as good!

That is so cool. Tons of good books though. I was never a reader, failed all through school as a child and into early adulthood. I love life, reality and want success for many different reason. All the greatest people read and educate a ton so I do so too and learn from those best people. It is amazing to have peoples life work all in a book. But most importantly it is the most stimulating thing in the world. Better than any party, for me at least. :)

Reading isn't for everyone but for me as a child, my imagination was flowing far too wild and fast for my own small world so I needed an outlet to escape into and explore in ;)

As a writer myself, I can say that it is such an incredible outlet to be able to have your feelings and thoughts read by others. I am happy to hear you're enjoying it more now, it really is another world :)

Very much so, it is like a better movie in a book. :)

Haha honestly, it's a fair assessment. They are really good. The movies now have kind of tainted them, going back and reading them again on this journey. It's hard to see things the same way now with the movies' ideas in mind. Either way though, Tolkien was a genius and he stole my heart for years!

I definitely agree! The more I read the more I want to learn! =D

Clarity, awareness, growth, expansion are all so great qualities to have and I believe we can achieve those all with reading. Plus the more we learn the more we earn. :)

haha love the last bit ;) good thing there is plenty to read on Steemit. I used to spend my entire days on here before I left for my trip... I see that happening in my future again =D

That is exactly what I am doing now but I leave for mine on the 28th!

That's exciting! I am leaving again on the 19th it appears :O Can't sit still! Where are you heading?

That is amazing, travelling is the greatest! I am heading to Guatemala. So no laptop just will but running all my blogging through my phone. You heading somewhere new?

I spent a few months in Guatemala and being vegan I LOVED it because there are more fruits there than anywhere I have ever been! I always fantasize about finding that variety again in new places I visit but ever get the same amount of different things to try! I hope you have an amazing time :)

I am currently in the middle of getting pulled into a 1.5-2 month trip to new places yes but we will have to see, I just unpacked :P

Wow you are quite the traveler, very inspiring!

I am staying in Antigua and Lake Atilan. Any advice on things to do there or where to eat? Also any concern on food causing problems, what to avoid or anything? Heard some places use bad water to wash things or what have you..
