Wrapped Up In Books

~ Book lovers of the world unite! ~
Like 'the wandering book people'
in Ray Bradbury's 'Fahrenheit 451' we will
memorise and live and breathe the lines
and words, word for word of our favourite books.
If there were no more books tomorrow,
we will learn and memorise them today! Becoming 'book people' preserving the love of knowledge and the written word for future generations. :reading::love::reading:

April09 Book of the Month The Perks of Being a Wallflower Quotes

So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.
"I feel infinite."

It's strange because sometimes, I read a book, and I think I am the people in the book.
"We accept the love we think we deserve."

I am very interested and fascinated by how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.
Sometimes, I look outside, and I think that a lot of other people have seen this snow before. Just like I think that a lot of other people have read those books before. And listened to those songs.

My mind played hopscotch. My brother... football... Brad... Dave and his girlfriend in my room... the coats... the cold... the winter... "Autumn Leaves"... don't tell anyone... you pervert... Sam and Craig... Sam... Christmas... typewriter... gift... Aunt Helen... and the trees kept moving... they just wouldn't stop moving... so I laid down and made a snow angel.
The policemen found me pale blue and asleep.
