books

Read a thousand books and words will flow like a river.
Lisa See

It might come as no surprise that I am obsessed with books. Piles of them fill my home, and walking around with no lights means risking tripping over a stack of them. And yet, there are never enough! I keep books that have inscriptions, ones that do not get donated to charity after I finish reading them.
