Liked this very short story quite a bit. ( )

For those of us who are more successful in our inner life than we are in the real world. ( )

Reasons why I loved this book.

First off, I never watched the movie. And today, I'm still not inclined too. I originally picked up this WISP version, however, with the realization that "this was a book??!". Of course it was. A short story. As many movies seem to be these days.

Anyway. I was taken in. However brief the story. It's easy to see how. The life we dream up for ourselves is almost certainly more pleasing, entertaining, and satisfying than what we have. So Mr. Mitty was guilty of spending the bulk of his time in a dream world that was a lot better than reality. Who can blame him, really? In my dream world, I'd be a hero too!

A quick read with brilliant illustrations. Don't forget about this classic. ( )

I've loved this short story since the first time I'd read it back in high school, where I often daydreamed as much as Mitty especially during geometry class with Miss Fields. ( )

It was funny to read this short story while waiting for my mammogram results at the doctor’s office. It’s all about a man lost in his daydreams while in the midst of mundane life events. It was a bit meta to escape into his story in that moment. I’ll admit, in this case I actually love the 2013 movie version more than the 1939 story. It took the original idea and added more depth and adventure. ( )
