"Ah. The sweet serenity of books."
This is a little ditty I have finally created, to remove my constant rants of books and their good worth from my regular account. It's all about the words. Their manipulation, their seduction, the frosty bite they bring to your heart. Words that make you cry, or laugh, bite your lip in trepidation. The power of them, the misuse of them, the wonderful words we read every day.
This is for reviews, observations, maybe even an integration of your own language. Whatever makes you happy. This is for fans of words and their forums; tv, films, poems, music... but most of all, books. That sweet musky smell of a good novel is something that no hard disk will ever compensate.
