I love books.

Those killer books that have you hooked from the start. The ones that leave you with a new perspective on things. Or after you’ve read it, you wish the author was a personal friend of yours. The ones that give you intense emotions of pathos and euphoria, and the characters are almost tangible. Those are the kind of books I like.
