    Books take me places I might otherwise never visit. Places that might exist only in the mind of the author.

    Yet with the wisdom of ages available to us, THIS is how we choose to live our life as a society?. . . . Sigh

    My mother gave me that, and my older brother left his book collection. I grew up on Sherlock Holmes, among others

    Thank you, Gavin Aung Than, for being like that candle. You know… “How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world”.

    So true. I’ve read since I was two. I still love it. When Mom wanted me to be quiet, she gave me a book. It worked.

    I just checked, and all of these are available on Project Gutenberg, a website of public domain books =)

    “Do you believe in magic in a young girl’s heart?

    How the music can free her, whenever it starts

    And it’s magic, if the music is groovy

    It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie

    I’ll tell you about the magic, and it’ll free your soul

    But it’s like trying to tell a stranger ‘bout rock and roll. . ." – The Lovin’ Spoonful
