Some read it because they want to think about the possibilities, broaden their minds even for a little while.<br /><br />I think there's an awful lot of influence of reality on fiction and fiction on reality, and I love the tales that blur the lines between the so-called boundaries. That's another post in a bit!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10801615073397568941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31808689.post-50629611314108489682010-07-31T13:38:33.519-04:002010-07-31T13:38:33.519-04:00I've heard of porphyria, it was a subject I fi...I've heard of porphyria, it was a subject I first really thought about after watching an episode of CSI titled 'Justice is Served'. Your bit about the 'psychic vampires' is interesting and makes sense to me, I'll have to look it up some more. There does seem to be a bit of reality at the heart of some myths.<br />I have been through a lot and met quite a few different people in life, and I agree with you, life can be way stranger than fiction.<br /><br />I find it interesting that when you look at the top selling movies or books of all time they are fiction, fantasy based. Not crime or drama or comedy or non fiction. People like to get away from reality.<br /><br />MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
