Descriptions


I was at the library today looking for a good book to read and as I ran through the list of authors in my head it occurred to me that my favorite authors leave vivid pictures in my mind. Often times I don't know if I have read the book, or seen the movie when it comes out.

Then I began thinking that this is because these writers are able to describe things that I see from my own point of view, which is why movies can be such a disappointment.

That led to the different ways people view things and what tags images in their mind. I would just like to throw out this description:

Lies rolled off his tongue like breath mints in a jackals mouth. A true power monger, he never let the truth come between him and a good lay, or anything else.

Don't tell me who you see. I don't want to know. It's enough to see the image in my head.
