Stories

btt,btt

If you’re anything like me, one of your favorite reasons to read is for the story. Not for the character development and interaction. Not because of the descriptive, emotive powers of the writer. Not because of deep, literary meaning hidden beneath layers of metaphor. (Even though those are all good things.) No … it’s because you want to know what happens next?
Or, um, is it just me?

When picking a book to read, what most attracts me first is the story. Like any curious person, I want to find out where the stories would bring me to, and then I would like to know what would happen to the characters in these stories. In my opinion, a good story consists of having a good plot and engaging characters.

So what about you? I would love to hear your thoughts.
