How often do you get that feeling of being a third wheel?
As I came of age, I noticed that I seem to find it hard coping with people/conversations that are of no interest to me. The worst part is when you're expected to join in, and when you do (especially when you pose an opinion, that is) you instantly feel that invisible force coming your way that says: Um, right. Whatever.
Hence, you're ignored lol.
So here's the thing about books, though. A book would never make you feel ignored. One might ignore a book, after idly flipping through its pages, or once one loses interest in the story, the book is then put away. It doesn't make you feel guilty any moment you come across it later on. It's more like sitting there with a hesitant smile, not forceful, neither nonchalant.. that maybe you'd wanna pick it up again.
But in the end, it just stays there. It never judges your opinion.
And that's probably why some call books a man's best friend. It sure is mine!
