There are books that, when read, are able to give you emotions. These books are those you will remember, those you will keep in your heart. In these days, full of too many thoughts, too many things to do, decisions to take, I am enjoying some time reading, cleaning my mind. I reading, for the second time, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth book of the saga. Probably this is my favorite.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix When I read it I feel myself in Hogwarts, near the characters, cleaning my mind from every thought and relaxing.

At the moment I am reading about Dolores Humbridge, probably the most important character in the book. I am deeply angry with her. Do I feel stupid or childish? No, I don’t think so, because this book is so well written, the characters so carefully managed that you can feel the injustices as if they were done on yourself.

Did you read the book? Did you ever get caught in the pages until it’s too late to keep your eyes open?

I do. I would never stop reading.

The first time I read this book was more than one year ago, so a lot of details have flown out of my mind. Sometimes I feel some passages familiar, without being able to remember how they will end. Some other times I can get what will happen next, and in some cases I feel fury deep inside me, knowing that there will be things that will happen. There has been few books that have remained so deep into myself, giving me so many feelings. I love these books, because it means that they are more than simply books, more than simple words on paper; they are something alive, that dance with your soul.

The Lord of the Rings, The Foundation Trilogy and some others. Did you ever read something that gave you such emotions?

Reading a book is Always an impressive action: it’s much more than a simple Television experience and much more than the Digital Experience through the net. People should read more, because reading helps the development of the imagination, open the mind and makes your brain work a little bit!
