-----"The more pores, the more truthfully recorded details you can get on a sheet of paper, the more literary you are (pg.83)." When Ray Bradbury writes this in his novel I think he is trying to say that books too have pores. These pores give books life and they take in aspects of life as we write them. The more pores in a book the more the book tells you about life, and the more you read these books the more you take in of life. The pores in books give them features and bring emotions to us as we read them. Whether the emotions are saddness or happiness it is as if the book is alive. And in reading something as simple as a couple of words in a sentence some writers can bring a whole new meaning to something that could have been thought to be not important. Every theme, meaning, or conflict in a book can be found in real life. That is why books are so important. They can open up and teach and show a reader things they may never see in life. As Ray Bradbury said in the novel not everyone has the money, resources, or time to travel all over the world to see the amazing things it has to offer, but reading a book is sometimes the closest these people to get.
---I don't know if what I just wrote makes any sense at all. I don't know how to put what I was thinking in words but that is the best way I can.

I think it makes sense. And I agree that reading books is an important aspect of living. There is much to be found in books.
Keep reading this one.
