To read is to fly:
it is to soar to a point of vantage which gives a view
over wide terrains of history,
human variety, ideas, shared experience and the
fruits of many inquiries.
- A. C. Grayling

Books are the plane, and the train, and the road.

Awesomely awesome. Books were and are my life’s blood. As a child I had almost no hearing until the 4th grade. I lived and breathed through books, so of course I grew up with a deep love of them. This reblog is wonderful, thank you so much!

I don’t usually reblog but sometimes there are just things so awesome that transcend boundaries and have to be shown to as many people as possible. It will make me take more notice of other people reading now, that is when i ge my own head out of a book.

It is nice to know that there are others who dwell within the words of books. Makes one feel not so alone or different, a big problem I had for a long time.

With the level of obsession I see on WordPress, I don’t think you will feel alone again! Life is okay but a book is better.
