The people on trains are so enthralled by the books on their laps; transported to a world far beyond this one, never glancing up until they reach their stop.
My favorite place in the whole city was the an old bookshop.My emergency contact was an old bookshop. Usually when I enter a bookstore, I feel immediately calm. Bookstores are, for me, what churches are for other people.What mosques are for other people.Like a small child when i step inside i blink in astonishment from one place to another.Look around you, look at the shelves upon shelves of books — for years, the vessels of all knowledge.
