Onto Booooks….

What is it with books that make you want to lose yourself in them?
Become a ghost
Live between the words
Trapped and yet free

 

My friend was saying, I have started a book marathon. I should say, I picked up this book reading habit from one of my friends. My mother says there is life beyond books. I agree with her. You open the bookshelf and find 35 unread books waiting to be consumed - it is times like these that put me under more pressure than any other project deadline(I don’t give a damn about them anyways).  The "library" has setup in my new house finally, and the entire book shelf is filled with books. My books. Stuff that I had bought. Bought. They are not stolen or borrowed. The books I borrow I would return them anyways. It is in fact a wonderful feeling to get lost in the book, like a ghost creating a parallel world with every character in the book. Here goes my to Read List. I will keep the blog updated when I am done reading all these books.

I hate parting with my books, but I have two copies of Alchemist to give away. If you promise me that you will give that money to any charity of your choice, I will give away those books. Due to space constraints, I am planning to buy an ebook reader. Heard very good reviews from my senior, will give it a try some time next week and then go for it.
