Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down it's pages, its spririt grows and strengthens. Carlos Ruiz Zafón I read - therefore I bookcross!
"A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition. Like money, books must be kept in constant circulation. Lend and borrow to the maximum."
Henry Miller Hi, my name is Haugtussa and I'm a book addict! As a lot of other people here I can not remember a life without books. One of my first book memories is of scarying myself so much that I wasn't able to sleep - after reading Carolyn Keene's books about Nancy Drew! When it comes to reading my 95 year-old grandmother is my hero, and I'd like to quote her: "I don't do any housework anymore, there are too many books to read before I die!" (She said this ten years ago, and still lives by it). I read pretty much anything, although I'm not particularly fond of Sci-Fi/Fantasy or Romance. My bookshelf does not really reflect my reading taste as I register a lot of books just to wild release them. I am also the mother of three wonderful children (4, 7 & 10) and I am a full-time teacher. I'm married to another reader, but our tastes differ quite a lot. He tends to read all the thrillers I register for wild releasing! Books I've read in 2012 "Reading is dialogue with oneself, it is self-reflection, which cultivates profound humanity. Reading is therefore essential to our development. It expands and enriches the personality like a seed that germinates after a long time and sends forth many blossom-laden branches. People who can say after reading a book "this changed my life" truly understand the meaning of happiness. Reading that sparks inner revolution is desparately needed to escape drowning in the rapidly advancing information society. Reading is more than intellectual ornamentation, it is a battle for the establishment of the self, a ceaseless challenge that keeps us young and vigorous."
