A villain may make or break a movie.  If the villain acts childish, is supposed to be smart but never does anything to show it, and hyperconfident for no reason at all, that villain sucks.

Deus ex machinas are oh so last millennia.  Avoid them.

Know how many times you are allowed to renew books.  Otherwise, you will be scrambling to return them on time.

You've probably done something wrong if people care more about the antagonist than the protagonist, especially if it's before the antagonist's sob story.

Whenever watching or reading a fictional work, it's good to ask yourself:  "Why do I like this character?"  Better insight of yourself will be found, as well avoiding potentially adverse situations in the future.

Although death is no laughing matter, there is something oddly fascinating and humorous about being in an imaginary Hunger Games with celebrities and ordinary citizens.

Example:

Addictions are always bad.  However, it's better to have a less harmful addiction, such as reading, than, an addiction to drugs and/or alcohol.  Just remember that an addiction is still an addiction, so staying up 'til the wee hours to finish a book on a school night?  Not a good idea.

There is a very fine line between being a thesaurus addict *coughstephaniecoughmeyercough* and being unversed in adjectives *coughhouseofcoughflyingdaggerscoughsubtitlescough*.  Try to stay in the middle.

Don't read a intense thriller book during the night when the wind is howling outside your window and leaves are rustling against the pane. It might give you unwanted chills!
