Imagination based on Books.

First of all, i'm gonna tell you up front that i'm not like one of those book-worm definition kind of person, well.. my sister love her books. She literally have all the books thats in the house to herself and read all of it and on the other hand my brother loves comics so i'm surrounded by siblings who loves to read. Okay now, this is my perspective of imagination based on Books.

A couple of things that will relate to my imagination when reading a book is:

1. My dream guy, usually a bearded guy, handsome to my enjoyment

2. Places i've been to, or seen on tv.

3.. What people do on tv

4. What i do on daily basis

5. What my co-workers do

6. What my bestfriend look like

7. The celebrity that i love
8. and a lot of other things

but.... sometimes the person that a book describe doesn't have a face in my head, like all black just like the mystery man that The Detective Conan comic book illustrated it. why? because i'm a native Indonesian, but i love reading books thats in English language and because my lack of knowledge of words that is used by the writer sometimes prevent me to describe fully in my head, like the word "damp" or "impugning" that is used by the writers in "Let it Snow" book by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle. So in order to fully describe as like what the writer hope for us to describe it, i googled the meaning of that word, sometimes i have i oxford dictionary to my side while reading Harry Potter series cause its english literature is very different with US english, much harder in my opinion.

When you read a book, you can't help yourself from imagining things like what the book describe. The specific that the book describe to you, either its a place, a scenery, a person, a mug, a car or even the snow or even the feeling of wind touching your skin in a breezy summer morning by the Ku-De-Ta beach in bali where the sun has just risen and there's that guy in a white t-shirt and a light brown cream pants walking his dog.

Okay, will you please tell me what you just imagine just now in the comment box below? how was the Ku-De-Ta beach that i just describe in your head? What dog did you see? How's the guy? is he handsome? bulky? short hair? long hair? bald?

I personally whilst typing that description, the first thing i imagine was the sky was a gradation from dark yellowy to bright blue sky with just enough clouds up above, lights that comes from the sunrise, and from my camera in my head i was on the corner left and its directing to my right to see this handsome guy with a hair like a fresh-from-the-bed ryan reynolds in his white tee and his long pants like the model in Britney Spears' video clip titled "Sometimes" playing with his dog. The dog was a golden retriever.

For some of you who never been to Bali and never heard of  a place called Ku-De-Ta probably wondering with a struggle with picturing what the landscape looks like, but for some of you who have been there.. maybe easier to recall the place landscape or probably the first thing you remember is what the restaurant and the lounge looks like in your head.

Imagination in our head is depends on the person who imagine it. So the leading character in a book can have many faces and wearing many different clothes according to people imagination. I think that is cool. So can you imagine how hard it is to make a movie based on a book? the fan of the book will have a high expectation for what its gonna be like, y'know what the movie gonne be like. Imagination in our head will always be better than what  the movie described because the imagination in our heads is based on the things that we love to see or imagine, so the Books will always be better than the Movies.

I love imagining things, daydreaming like Walter Mitty, playing images in my head, oh how i love doing that, in my head i can be this super awesome hollywood director. Well, thats my perspective of Imagination based on Books, how about yours?
