Books Books are the doorway to a different universe. One can not read a good book and see, experience, or interact with reality the same way again. Books have allowed me to reinvent the Universe I live in. Without books I would still be stumbling around in a dark world afraid to know itself. The knowledge transmitted to me through books has allowed me to join the parade of love and creation. Through books I have come to see a Universe as infinite as it is loving.
