God once said let there be happiness and then there
were books. A book is not a mere bundle of pages stapled together but an
amalgamation of hopes, dreams and possibilities. Books become the most amazing
of friends, the most patient of teachers and the wisest of counselors. Books
are train, the plane. They are the journey, the destination. They are home. What
books do to me is unexplainable. It’s like I’m an addict. Books have the same
kind of temptation for me that liquor has for its devotee. They are irresistible.
I believe in them. I believe in the magic of books. I believe that during
certain times we’re drawn to a particular book. Like while walking down a aisle
in a bookshop and coming across the most perfect, the most wonderfully suitable
book staring right at us. I believe that books ultimately find their way into
our lives. Like they’re meant to be. Finding someone you love is a wonderful feeling.
But finding a true soul mate? That’s an even better feeling. Books are my soul
mates. My special ones. They've taken me to places I've never been to. Given me
hope. Taught me how to dream. But above all they've taught me how to love and
live!
