"A good book should leave you... slightly exausted at the end. You live several lines while reading it." ~ William  Styron

I chose this quote because it intrigues me. It is a story, within a story. Imagine you are reading your favourite book. You are very involved in the story, not being able to put in down! As you are speedily turning the pages, you are creating memories and a new story, that could only be happening then. You could not go back and change it after it is published, as with any story. You are probably wondering that this new story is! It is what you thought or did during this time of reading. Your facial expressions, clothes you wore and how you did your hair. It could be as simple as how you were enjoying this novel!

Another thought is the movie "Inception". In the movie, you are in a dream, within a dream, within another dream. It is kind of the same idea, but with novels.

This quote symbolizes reading and literature in general. The world is full of stories waiting to be told, and that is why I chose this fantastic quote.
