One day after the passing of all of our egos we might come home and become again like the movement of the leaves moving all together with one clear singing voice as the wind hits the trees, but it will be a long time from now.

I love seeing store displays of small press comics like this! This is a display at Bergen Street Comics and comicsetc is their tumblr presence.

But I do go in for books. I love to own books. Though I read few books twice, I have filled every shelf in my house with books, have had more shelves made and filled those too. My books surround me like a cocoon. When I run my finger along the backs of my books they feel like the ribcage of an old familiar lover. Visit my shelves and you will learn much about me.

I like big books and I cannot lie. You other readers can’t deny: when a book walks in with good plot base and big spine in your face you get sprung, wanna pull out your pens ‘cause you noticed that book was dense. Reading, half-rims I’m wearing. I’m hooked and I can’t stop caring. Oh, baby, I want an e-reader and meaningful meter. My teachers tried to train me but that book you got makes me so brainy…
