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.
