undefinedReading
When one reads one is never alone. While reading one has the ability to meet new characters and visit different places. My favorite genres are nonfiction and mysteries.
Quote
”Treat everyone you meet as if he or she were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do so with no thought of reward.
Your life will never be the same.”
