True Art

So this week I am going to start reading a book called O Pioneers! I'm really excited; mostly because I'm not entirely sure what to expect. I've read a lot of books and history about pioneers, but never a classic like this. I am constanly amazed by the beauty and depth a great writer can put on a subject that is initially, well...kinda boring. And I don't mean only in this book, but also in many of the books I've had the opportunity to read. The true artistry is when an author can simply write about life, but make it into a beautiful work of art.
