Fiction is one of my favorite genres of writing.I like the way the characters become real when you read about them. One of My favorite fiction stories deals with a much deeper theme than Once upon a time or happily ever after. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee tantalizes your senses with suspense,Childhood imaginations,the issue of prejudice and murder all rolled into one.This was one of the first books that affected me in so many different ways.I have mentioned in past postings the fact that I've never been an avid reader.With this book, reading it caused me to want to watch the video.The imagination that Scout and Gem had were so difficult for me to visualize. The ham suit for instance was so hard to imagine, until I saw the video.After I saw that I was able to read it with more enthusiasm.Another work of fiction that I enjoyed was "Where The Wild Things Are".I finally got to read it. I recommend it to anybody. It is so awesome, the use of this boy's imagination. It was very enjoyable. It left me wanting more! Maurice Sendak was on to something for the generations to partake of and enjoy!There are so many wonderful works of fiction that I have had exposure too.I am sad to say I haven't appreciated reading and these books as much as I have in the past few months. Something has been ignited inside of me and it has changed my outlook on reading. I now look for the opportunity. I am also sad to say that too many times I don't have much success in finding the time to read.Hopefully after I have completed my degree plan I will be able to spend more time reading for leisure.Another book that I absolutely could not put down wasn't by a children's author. The book "A Cosmic Christmas" by Max Lucado is a very good account of the Christmas story. It brings it in such a manner that it is appealing for all ages.http://childrensbooks.about.com/cs/authorsillustrato/a/sendakartistry.htm The preceding is website for Maurice Sendak
