Subject: house of books... (mental apologia for my having thousands)
> A house exists to keep books in. Pages are living
> minds made words.
>
> Books are houses where the dead live and speak to us
> of their lives and describe places that have existed
> and have never existed.
>
> The thoughts of those who have lived
live on in
> books, and through their words and works,
they can change
> our lives now and into the future.
>
> The house of books is built for our mind,
which is the house of our truest being.
>
> Our body is the house of the world we live in.
> Wherever we are, books can be a part of our life
> that,
> like our ancestors, we did not have lived with, but
> from whome we are born, grow from and continue in
> our
> way.
