LA LUNA READERS

Ever so often we all need to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We all choose to escape in someway and that's what I did. So what is your perfect get away spot? Think of it! Is it a cold wintery setting like Colorado or is it a tropical setting like the Caribbean? Well just think of it and imagine what book would you take with you to any of these places you can imagine. Well my favorite place in the world to escape too is Port Royal, Jamaica. For those who don't know about Port Royal here is some general information. Located on the Caribbean island of Jamaica at its southeastern tip, Port Royal was established in 1518. The city was the commercial center for shipping commerce in the Caribbean sea during the latter half 17th century. The town was labelled "The Wickedest City" in the Caribbean also called "Sodom of the New World". It was a hot bed for pirates, prostitutes, and any cutthroats sailing the Caribbean Sea back then. The city was o...

  High School arguable the most clique dominated place around. Everywhere you look when the time comes your being recruited into something. Join the baseball team, join the football team, join the debate team, just join something. You can go all through high school and not join anything, but are you weird or are you constructing your own isolation. Sometimes when you aren't in one of these cliques you are looked upon as a loner. Me myself I wasn't in a clique, but I had a very good amount of friends. But what happens to the students that don't have a clique and really don't have that many friends? They are the outcast that are banished to the outer reaches of the lunchroom.   But those loners are not a lone, all most all students in high school has something they fear something they hide and wish they could change. Not being popular, not being the most beautiful, or not being the most brightest sets each student a part from each other. But what if this wasn't ...

  With the human race ever evolving so is our way of doing things. When man first started writing he took chalk to the wall of caves. From there we've moved on to paper, but we did not stop there. The way of spreading the written word has evolved beyond what any prehistoric man could dream. From chalk, to the pencil, to the printing press, to the typewriter, and now to the modern computer. We have surely come a long way and with these leaps we have moved forward with the way we entertain, horrify, and thrill the modern reader. Since technology has made it so easy for use in developed countries to have access to books are we going to evolve pass the traditional book? Will we no longer need to feel paper under our finger tips with the introduction of the eBook? Paper or Plastic   Not everyone has a computer, Ipad or an ebook reader (Nook, Kindle, Kobo). So is it safe to say that the traditional paper books that we've grown up with are not endanger? I think not! I say th...

  When I was younger I remember being able to go to the mall, 2 bus rides later I was at my local bookstore which was Walden's. But like I said that's when I was younger. That Walden's is gone now and was never replaced. A bookstore is where your suppose to be able to go to checkout the latest books, magazines, manga, and other sort of things. But what happens when the only bookstore you know closes down?   It's been about ten years since that Walden's closed down and nothing has replaced it since. Unfortunately the same thing happened to its parent company Borders last year, after it declared bankruptcy. This is where my question comes up, where are all the bookstores? Living in Brooklyn you would think that their would be a vast amount of bookstores since this is where everyone is supposedly moving too since the city it self is vastly expensive. If you were to look around my part of Brooklyn you would find not one bookstore. Sure you will have Target which ...
