Sometimes it seems to me that books are not just stories ๐, but entire lives lived parallel to mine ๐ซ.They were with me in a variety of states: when I was sad, they consoled me ๐, when I was happy, they shared my happiness ๐, when I needed to decide where to go next, they showed me the way ๐งญ. I still remember how some pages warmed me better than a blanket ๐งถ, and phrases became part of my internal dialogue ๐ง .I even carried one book in my bag as a talisman ๐ โ simply because it reminded me who I am ๐. Being a person who reads is like being friends with infinity โจ.Each book is like a new acquaintance ๐ค, sometimes like an old friend ๐ซถ, and sometimes like a mirror ๐ช. What books have influenced you?
