 When you hear a song on the radio that was a favorite tune during your teen years, or perhaps early 20's, does your heart flutter at the memory of your life back then? Did you play that song over and over again on your phonograph? Or, were you falling in love at the time a tune was most popular? As a teen or young adult, storing the memory of songs which spark our attention when hearing it on the radio is known as the ‘reminiscent bump’. Besides music, this psychological analysis for our response to certain songs also holds true for books and movies. At the age of 10 until 25, our minds absorbed the repetitive sounds of our favorite tunes, and what was going on in our lives at the time. The age from 16 until 20 is the peak period of this ‘reminiscent bump’ period. So, the next time you hear an oldie, but goodie, there is a reason behind your nostalgic emotions. Enjoy the memories! |

 How is a work of fiction inspired? Where does that first sentence come from? When does the writer realize the premise of the imaginary tale?

The imagination is permeated with ideas for the story’s progression and conclusion. When the three letter word -end- is added at the finale, the writer will take a long deep breath, exhale, and realize the story he or she gave birth to was a labor of love for the gift of writing a work of fiction.
 There’s nothing more relaxing than curling up with a good book on a rainy day when there’s nothing else to do, nowhere to be. This thought may be true for many. Some will prefer an actual print book with ability to turn pages, while others count on their digital means of reading, whether it’d be a computer, tablet, or phone. Where do audio books fall in popularity when it comes to a different method of reading a novel?
Although as far back as the 1930s there’s been audio capabilities from spoken albums, it was about the 1980s and later when publishers and book sellers began to put videocassettes, DVDs, and compact discs on their shelves. Nowadays, we’ve gone a step further by hearing the words of the author in a downloadable format. Is all this audio stuff taking away from words that would once be read with our eyes?
