BOOKS

 

Books have forged me into who I am today. Ever since I discovered the joy of reading, it’s been my only source of salvation. I lost myself in books and I found myself there too. It fuels the imagination and I find it fascinating how we can dream up whole worlds in our minds. We readers live and breathe words. In books, I found the most loyal of friends. As long as one has books, one can never truly be alone. In truth, I cannot imagine my life without books. How dull would it be to limit oneself to the tedious affairs of the world? To the people who value the freedom of mind & soul. Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life. It breaks the shackles of place & time and lets you have experiences you’ve never had, meet with people you’ve never met and be in places you’ve never been to. Literature is the melody of intellect and composition of truth. Anyone who underestimates the influence of literature and poetry is very weak-minded indeed. Words hold the power to move the soul, touch the heart and stir the consciousness. I feel pity for anyone who does not read, dream of greater worlds and infinite possibilities.
