RE: I love the smell of books. Am I weird? I blame authors like Michael Crichton
I actually love reading books and one of my favorite writers is Dan Brown. I love his books. His books for me are better than any movie or TV show. :)
I think it is better sometimes do not know what is coming. As if it's a negative thing you will only make it worse than it is because fear can do that to you.
I loved what you said here:
"I tend to think of this story when I meet people. It reminds me to look for the greatness in others regardless of appearances."
I think we should all take a lesson from you here. And, look way beyond the exterior of people. Don't judge the book by its covers kind of thing in a way.
Being pro basketball players in Europe and changing countries and meeting new cultures every year it is incredibly important to try to adapt yourself to your surroundings and people. They traditions, jokes, the way they speak. Of course, do not force it, but try to understand it, and have some fun while doing it. A smile is a universal language. And, always keep an open mind.
Amazing post, my friend. I might have to read this book. Thank you for review. Have an amazing day. :)
Ahhh! Conspiracy theory junkie! Dan Brown is pretty amazing. I've only read a couple of his novels, but what I've read, he weaves very complex plots in a way that flows so smoothly! And, yes, books are so often way better than the movies. I think it's so great that you travel and play basketball for a living! I look forward to learning more about you. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such a thoughtful comment.
Conspiracy theory indeed. I love a good one. But, I am more impressed how he is able to write in a way which makes you feel like you are there with the characters experiencing and seeing what they are seeing. Incredibly detailed writing of this is what makes me love his books. I believe I read 5-6 of his books and loved them all. The last one I read was Origin. And, I loved it. I read 400 and something pages in 2 days. That is how good the book is. :)
Basketball has sure been my lifelong passion and it has given me so much. More than I can ever imagine really. I have seen the world with it. :)
