I Prefer Books

I love books, writing, and reading. I read to smile, to cry, to see a new world, to get hope that the world can change. I write for the same reasons. Life is too short to not use imagination. In books and writing is one of the last places we are able to.

Currently Reading: The Cold War and the New Imperialism: A Global History 1945- 2005 by Henry Heller, A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawkings, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon.

Lock up your libraries if you like, but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

I do not read to think. I do not read to learn.
I do not read to search for truth
I know the truth, the truth is hardly what I need.
I read to dream.
