“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” - Jorge Luis Borges
My favorite books are the ones that change my world, pulling me into a new portal of the world that I did not expect going in. They surprise me, they shake me into a new being, I come out a different person on the other end. So know that if we have the same book taste we would be good friends :)
