I almost died.....

Knowledge is power and the library is our armoury

I need that car to have my books always with me

Arranged books in my rooms..

"I went away in my head, into a book. That was where I went whenever real life was too hard or too inflexible."

Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

A lovely cover

"He in his madness prays for storms, and dreams that storms will bring him peace."

— Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilych
