I love to read, but I hated the majority of the 'classics' I was forced to read in school. Recently I've started reading classics in the hopes of finding books that I do enjoy. So far I've read The Hobbit (Loved it), Watership...

I love books and don't have the heart to throw away books even if they are already too old. Even my child's books are still in my book shelf. I keep every book that I buy and find time to read them once in a while. Books make me...

Today on my way home, I saw a man bought old story books. Perhaps these might remind of his happy childhood. And some books will not be published again. So spending more money to buy these old books is the only one option. Will...
