Well the one I read was just a short poem.
It was thought provoking.

What caught my eye was how they dealt with his father’s death, or at least how his mother did. “What is the meaning of this photograph?” was something I didn’t realize could have a deeper answer than initially appears.

I've been wanting to read some fantasy **** for a bit. I started reading the last Song of Fire and Ice book, Dance with Dragons cause I only got a bit into that a few years ago but now I'm remembering that that book was kind of boring cause I'm 80 pages in and absolutely nothing has happened but I know that Tyrion likes food. Then I decided to reread the first Dragonlance book.

The Dragonlance series is everything you ever thought was cliched about fantasy literature, but as I remember it's vastly fun with highly likable characters and a universe that is very atmospheric and feels like the adventure you always wished you could have before you realized that you could never have that adventure.

I'm at an age where I should scoff at this kind of book but right now all I want to do is lose myself in it and find that same joy that I'll never ever have from reading Game of Thrones. **** all of you cause Tasslehof the joyful halfling making fun of Flint the grumpy dwarf makes me happier than anything any of you will ever do for me.
