Books

The lofty bookshelves sag
Under thousands of sleeping souls
Silence, hopeful -
Every time I open a book, a soul is awakened

    that's a great way to put it! the nice thing pa is, when you open a book, depending on the book, a different part of your "soul" is stirred up. :)

    I'm missing my books already. It's so sad talaga not being able to flip a page or two.

    So, what book are you wanting to read or finish now Kayni?

    Mine is still 'Under The Tuscan Sun'. Sigh!

    Pasyalera, Thank you for the visit.

    Sheng, At least, you're reading getting paid to read.

    Lene, I'm currently reading "Inkspell." I'm spending most of this summer reading.

    I used to go to public libraries every weekeends with Tommy and borrow some books there. A part of me saying that I'd better start doing it again. ^^
