How Books have been Saving me from Madness

Even when I didn’t know how to read, books were saving me. Born in a family that doesn't have a great predilection for books, the reason why I was so eager to devour them was quite a mystery. I have been the different one, always feeling as an outsider. I was so desperate to learn … Continue reading How Books have been Saving me from Madness →
