There's a part of me that gravitates towards books of every form and in every context. Libraries and lending libraries, bookstores, secondhand shops that have a literature section, "Free Books" boxes on the sides of the road... Even books in languages I don't understand - they draw me in.
I used to sit by myself during recess, just reading at the edge of the playground. Books are my oldest friends. They don't discriminate. They don't change themselves based on who's reading, or refuse to open their pages to certain people. They don't deny connection. Their worlds are immersive and welcoming, all the time.
Books are love, of a sort.
