If you were reading a book and as you were reading the events all started to seem vaguely familiar, until you realised the book was in fact your life story (to date and beyond) – would you continue to read to the end??

Somebody asked me this yesterday – my immediate answer was ‘no’ – tempting fate, don’t want to know, and, anyway, if you did know – wouldn’t you then try and make events fit around what you expected to happen, etc, etc, etc.

Upon more thoughtful deliberation – hell no!  That book would without a doubt be a DNF for me.  Let’s just be honest there are no dragons, sea monsters, witches, demons and vampires in my life!  This is a good thing of course, being a gigantic coward and all, let’s just keep them all separate – fact and fiction and never the twain shall meet.  To the point – when I’m reading I want my magical escape and unless some sort of rift in the time space continuum happens or somebody finds Middle Earth or dragons come mysteriously swooping out of the mountains one misty day – I’m not going to get my fix reading my own life story – don’t get me wrong, I love life, but I also love a bit of escapism.  There it is – in all its glorious truth.  Judge me if you will!!

And, would you read that book???????  And Why????
