The love of stories

Everyone has a story. The lady selling tomatoes on the street, the bus conductor at a bus station, the cab driver you see driving around, the person sitting next to you on a bus, your friends and your family members. Every single one of them can tell you the story about their life. They say everyone has at least one book in them, the former statement would hold that true. If everyone wrote a story about their life we would have many books. So in a way we're all writers because we all have stories to tell.

Stories are all around us, they've become such a huge part of us that they almost go unnoticed. They are the events we narrate to our friends about something we heard or did. "You won't believe what happened" some of them often begin. We sit down to watch them on our TV screens in the form of news, movies and TV shows. Hollywood thrives on stories; producing block buster films yearly. And the actors get paid handsomely to act out the story. What's your favourite movie? I'll bet it's a great story.

When we were young we sat at the lap of our Grandparents, eager to listen to the story they told. I especially loved to hear them from my Grandma Jennara. I can still remember some of them even though I was a young girl. When we were at school we read stories in books but somewhere a long the way, as we got older, we lost that desire to read.

Here we'll remember what it felt like to fall in love with a story, with the characters and storylines, by bringing to you short stories and novels to spark that desire again. Together we'll learn to love to read again.
