Why I Love to Read Fairy-tales

Basically I love to read, pretty much anything. But mostly fiction, fairytale to be excact. Fiction myth, legend, something magical, unreal, doesnt have to be beautiful. I love fairytale more and more as time goes. I read other more-real story when I was in highschool, but when I tried this genre, I knew I love it much! And this doesnt mean I dont read other genres.

When I’m about to read a book, especially fairytale, I got sooo excited. The feeling is like when youre going to go somewhere far that youve never been. Call me freak. Its like I’m going to be in a real adventure, like myself is the one whos going to experience it.

I can say that I like to play with imagination, a lot. And my favorite book genre is based on that thing, rather than my childish attitude. With unreal, imaginative characters and settings in a fairytale, I can use my imagination much. And no one can jugde me wrong with it. I can experience new worlds. I meet new creatures. That is fun.

But when it comes to movies, I dont really like fairytale. Especially movie about my favorite fairytale. I prefer a heavier genre more, like semi documentary, drama (not teen drama with some lovey dovey couple), war, and the like. I guess the reason is because the movie creators’ image can be different with what I’ve been imagined. And I think mine is better for me.

I love Neil Gaiman’s Stardust, I love Cornelia Funke’s Inkheart, but I dont really like the movie. I love Twilight books, but I hate the movies. I already read it like 4 5 years ago when no one noticed the book, and I can say I love it. But when the movie came out, its more like a cheap teenage drama movie (no offense, and not to mention how perfect the characters were in my imagination—the actors are good, but my own characters are better). If someone cant make an exact real image of what is written in fairytales then theyre better not doing it.

So some friends asked me why people who loves reading like me prefer fairytale. What I can say is just fairytale is not just for kid, therere like million adult fairytales too. And its just fun to know something that I have never even have a glance of thought to imagine about.

I dont even know why I post this, nobodys gonna read it anyway :D

Have a great Saturday!
