Yesterday I was watching The Inexplicable Universe with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. I was trying to make sense of it all, but know some of the things he has explained. I need to watch his show series several times, which I intend to do. The other show I was watching today was How The Universe Works, and then Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman. I was trying to understand all of it, and it seems that these too I need to repeat seeing it. I think I know some of the things, but love astronomy anyway. I think I have sort of complete understanding of some of the things the universe acts on nature in space. In outer space nature is real strange, this is the reason I enjoy watching these shows. They keep you guessing what the host is explaining you in order to learn from it. I have recently bought The Parallel World by Michio Kaku on the kindle fire, and Physics of the Future in print by the same author. The reason I am watching astronomy and reading it is because I want to learn about things in space. The Science Channel is my favorite channel, but I only watch the educational shows, and not the other shows like Survivor Man for example.
Literature
What I Am Reading
These past few weeks I am more into reading astronomy. The hardcover book I have started to read is The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brain Greene. I know it is a controversial book, but I decided to pick up on it. The other one I am reading that has nothing to do with astronomy is The Godfather by Mario Puzo for the second time. In the astronomy book I am learning tons of stuff for example The Theory of Relativity, the unsolved Unified Theory, etc. It’s interesting to read. Some people think it’s boring, but once you pick up on it it gets to be fun. I suggest if you’re an astronomy lover like I am start reading astronomy books. It’s educational, and it gives your brain knowledge. The Godfather novel I am reading now I have a clear picture of all of the events that occur in it. I have several astronomy books in my kindle I am reading. I am trying to make sense of all astronomy, because it’s very hard to understand in one day. You have to keep reading it everyday, and apply it in your mind. I am reading The Unobservable Universe in my kindle. So, I read novels in print, and also the astronomy books on the kindle fire. I also read writing reference books in the kindle fire device, also.
About The Twilight Saga
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The love story between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen is unreal and terrifying. If you have seen all The Twilight movies and have read all the novels Like I did. You may have noticed that Bella cares for this Cullen vampire family clan, because of their problems run them deep. However, she also made friends with Jacob Black who turns into a werewolf, which he suddenly falls in love with her. We all see the struggle of Jacob of trying for Bella to fall for him, but she loves Edward Cullen whose a vampire himself. It all ends where her new family of Cullen wins out against the evil vampire group in the last movie. Jacob Black before was the enemy of Edward Cullen, but at the very end of the novel he became a friend. At the last movie breaking Dawn, part 2 most of us see that everything gets resolved. We meet Bella’s half-vampire, half-human daughter. Bella Swan in Breaking Dawn, part 1 movie she becomes into a vampire. The story is terrifying and suspenseful. If you wish to read all these novels and see all the movies be my guest. You’ll love them once you begin reading them. If you want to know who wrote The Twilight novels is Stephanie Meyer. She has been preparing it for five years and it took her that long to complete the novel series. This is an interesting love story triangle between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, which you know that Jacob black is stuck right in the middle of it. At the last movie we meet a vampire group who wants to rid of Bella and the Cullen family. Most of us know how it all ends.
About Nicholas Spark
Dear John (2010 film) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
When we want a romantic novel to sweep off our feet, it’s a Nicholas Spark novel. His characters carry whole emotional baggage. We feel sorry for the protagonist, and yet we want it to have a happy ending, which we usually do all of the time in his novels. Some characters end up with happy or sad endings. Some of them are sick, and need to be cured, but sadly they die, and we have to understand why. The traps that the antagonists do to the protagonist seem unfair. I think the protagonist overcomes these problems by understanding the antagonist; however, bad he or she may seem, but sometimes that doesn’t happen. They have to solve it another way. We are romanticized by these stories, and the fictional characters look real. This is the reason I love these novels, and his movies, like Dear John. We love to watch them solve their own personal problems. We care for the protagonists in his novels, and his characters are colorful. They are perfect romance books for men and women who want to feel heartfelt, and heart-warming. He is perfect to write romantic novels, and is the bestselling romantic author as of yet.
Reading is Fun!!!

Most people have said before that reading is boring, but half of the most people say reading is fun. I know this world isn’t fond of literature, because they would rather watch sports, or movies. And also by doing something else. Reading is part of everything in our lives too. When you pick up a book anywhere it takes you to places you have never been before. I know that sports is the main thing for most people, but it doesn’t hurt to read. You can still like the others things as well. Some books are also to educate your brain, instead most young adults would rather prefer listening to music, and go for music concerts. But, you can do all of those things also along with reading. The literature industry is sometimes a dying industry, because most people don’t really care for it. Novels are great for fun reading. When is the last time you have picked up a book? Did it ever occur to you that by reading a book on a subject you’ll learn new things, and for example you want to be a firefighter or a military general. Think about it. Another thing is that you can know some other things around the world by discovering books on the subjects of events happening today or happened before. Maybe this time you will have time to purchase a book you love to read or pick one up at your near library. But, you have to be specific, by not being clueless about it. Read the newspaper or maybe you have kids that want to learn to read. By doing this you’ll find it amusing, and useful.
Great Novels!
English: Twilight Saga Español: Saga Crepúsculo (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I have read many novels, and some of them were great. One who reaches to mind is The Twilight Saga. This is a combination of vampires and werewolves, but it is more of the love story between Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. We were trying to find out if Bella would survive through the vampires and werewolves clans. At the end we found out what really happened, and her transformation into a vampire, and she gives birth to a vampire half breed baby. There are four novels to this series, and I recommend you to read them, even if they are long. Another novel that is great is The Godfather. The Godfather Don Corleone gives favors to those who need justice in need. The way it is set up is that you can’t go to the police for help, but to the Godfather. We also see that the next Godfather would be Michael Corleone. Don Corleone’s son. He too helps people in need of justice just like his father. He becomes Godfather, after his father’s death. Another great novel is The Harry Potter series, which this is about the wizard Harry trying to avenge his parent’s death against the evil Lord Voldemort. This is in 7 novels. However, this should be read too, even if they are real long. War and Peace is another great novel. There are so many great novels to read, and enjoy. There are also other novels that didn’t do great also. But, we’ll stick to the greatest novels that have been written. Enjoy!
On Troubled Writers
There are many writers who where troubled in their lives, and one has come to mention. Have you ever heard of Ernest Hemingway? I bet you have. He’s one of the writers who have gotten troubled. I don’t pay much attention to those, and only would rather read their books. Sometimes when a writer goes into something they aren’t supposed to be in it messes up their lives. The smart writer is the one who goes does their thing and minds their own business. Truman Capote was into trouble writing a novel called In Cold Blood, and has paid dearly for it. These kinds of problems never go away. He went to the thief’s cell, and started interviewing him. He also started cussing and making fun of famous people while being drunk. He was also a controversial figure. Most writers just write books, and go away from these illegal problems. These writers have had shares of their problems probably on their childhoods. Sometimes they get bad publicity. I think by having a healthy writing lifestyle and healthy life is best. Not every writer lives in comfort, because of their lives having complicated problems. There were still more writers who have had troubled lives, and those I’ve mentioned were a few of them.
