While most will think of physical means of transport such as cars, airplanes, trains, and similar vehicles used for transportation; I am venturing into a different realm of transport.
The term transport has several different and yet similar definitions. It means an act or process of transporting; to transfer or convey from one place to another; a vehicle (such as a truck or airplane) used to transport persons or goods. It also means to carry away with strong and often intensely pleasant emotion; strong or intensely pleasurable emotion.
Transport applies to any powerful emotion(s) that lifts one out of oneself and usually provokes vehement expression or frenzied action.
“Books are the plane, the train, = and the ROAD. They are the Destination and The Journey.they are home.”
~ ANNA QUINDLEN
When I read books 📚 I am transported into another place and time. I feel the emotions along with the characters in whichever book or story I am reading. Books take me places where I might not otherwise be able to visit, help me to learn and understand what other places and people are all about. I can envision myself there right amongst the people,whether real or imagined by the other, they all seem very real to me. I can feel and visualize the events taking place and I am instantaneously transported to another city, state, or country as if I am one with the book and its characters.
“Books take you places you hope someday to go. They transport you to time in the future or long, long ago. The words paint the pictures, the author’s canvas is your mind. Surreal images greet you, you never know what you’ll find. Books take you places, whether fantasy or real. Some tales make you laugh while others make you squeal!”
~ Kimberly Beatty
What are your thoughts on books as a means of transport? Have you ever felt as if you have been transported to another time or place when you were reading a book?
