A book review

Books for Living  By Will Schwalbe

What I love more than book is books about books. 

I heard about this actual book before its official release while I was listening to The New York Times Book Review podcast ( the book is now released). I immediately pre-ordered the book on Amazon, and counted down the days... It was worth it. This particular book took me through completely a different experience. In addition to highlighting the importance of reading in our time, Schwalbe discusses some books that left a great impact in his life (sometimes they even changed it). He also shows us how books can define who we are and who we will become after reading them. He said in his book introduction: 

"... there's one question I think we should ask of one another a lot more often, and that's "what are you reading?" ... [it] isn't a simple question when asked with genuine curiosity; it's really a way of asking, "who are you now and who are you becoming"

It has been so long I did not contemplate my fears, my failures, my life …. Myself … Nothing changed, yet everything seems different … Nothing changed but me.

Since i can't fly I will walk... Since I can't sleep I will work.  

Recently, I can't sleep in peace. So I just decided to not sleep until sleep looks after me again. Here is my coffee and mt tablet and desktop. Hopefully, soon I will find my way to peace.
