So...I just finished the book called My Name is Asher Lev. It was a school requiered reading, so I thought "Well, this will be boring...but since I get to pick a book, I'll pick something that interest me, let me read something about an artist".

All I have to say is that this book was really amazing and made me re-evaluate myself as an artist and all the power that being an artist implies (Just look at the quote that I added to my introduction of this world...I love that quote now ~<3).

This book is something that I feel everyone (or atleast, every artist) should read. It talks alot about having to seperate yourself from the world; to be an artist you have to be an artist first, everything else comes second. Uhm...I'm rambling at this point, but I positively loved the book XD. (and it made me cry...although I don't think that's to hard to do...but I seriously felt Asher's pain and was fighting what was to come in the end...can't explain, it contains spoilers :3).

I'm sorry that I've wasted your time with this little mini-rant, but whenever I finish a book that just really manages to speak to me, I have to tell someone about it, and since school hasn't started yet, you, my poor Otaku friends, will have to suffer through my ramblings.

I bid you all farewell and hope you take my advice and read this book...it really is amazing. :3
