Books that delve into the hearts and minds of ourselves and each other...

Clive Barker, is mainly know for his “Horror” novels, and films, but of his works, I find that:

“The Great and Secret Show” (the 1st book of the “Art”) and “Everville” (2nd book of the “Art), are two books that really make your think, see, and question everything around you.  I’m not talking about “paranoia” (lol), I’m talking about, reading people, really trying to understand people, and how they relate to your life’s situation.

I’ve been told the following: “People come into your life for a Reason and a Season”. This is self explanatory, and I wasn’t feeling it at first.  But the more I read, and reflect on my life, I found this statement to be very true.

These 2 novels, and others like them, not only entertain, and totally immerse you in whole new worlds, where you can see the colors, and characters vividly and crystal clear.  They challenge your mind, your though process, your reasoning.  The majority of the time, we see only ourselves, care about only ourselves...we forget to see the others around us..the things around us that we will miss and never see again.  The opportunities we past by because we didn’t see and didn’t think.

Pick up a book, expand your mind, encourage others to do the same.

Thank You.
