It’s time to say goodbye. The semester is at last drawing to a close.

This project has been fun. I’ve had a good time putting it together. I have also enjoyed making time to read with the my normally hectic schedule. It’s been slightly surreal this past semester. I’ve been working so hard for the final goal of graduation and it has finally arrived. I’m a little scared as to what’s to come. However, I think it will be exciting, fun and different. I’m ready to make my place in the world. So as graduation looms, my advice to everyone, “Take some time out to enjoy the now, or you’ll never notice what’s around you.”

The value of books is amazing. Important lessons in life can be learned from books and writings. It’s important to learn from other people and experiences through the transitions of life. I hope that this Web site has allowed you to enjoy books again.

Have a great holiday season! Have a great year as well!

So today the question is: Does real love exist as it does in novels? I would have to say no. And not because I’m a cynic about love and life but because it doesn’t exist that way.

Unless you’re looking at novels like Gone With The Wind, where Scarlett and Rhett battle each other the whole way, only to lose each other in the end. Not that all love ends that way, but I think the proof that this happens lies in the divorce rates around the world. For a short period of time in the novel, they have this great love affair. However as times change, circumstances and their love does.

So that is what I think most novels are missing. I think that novels like Pride & Prejudice and The Notebook only serve to set standards that cannot be achieved in real life.
