Books you need to read (Or, Neha's Library)

Introduction

~𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖎𝖇𝖑𝖎𝖔𝖕𝖍𝖎𝖑𝖊'𝖘 𝕽𝖚𝖑𝖊𝖇𝖔𝖔𝖐~

1. You love the (distinctly different) smell of both new and old books

2. You inevitably gravitate towards book stores instead of clothes shops in malls (it's not mandatory to hate clothes shopping as much as me, howeverಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ)

3. You think about the books you've read. You think about the alternative endings, about the memorable characters, about the writing and everything

4. You hated those teachers in school who threw books across the classroom to publish children (still makes my blood boil)

5. If a new acquaintance says they read books, you immediately judge them positively in your mind

6. You have a never-ending to-be-read list, but it shortens and lengthens both (not, as with some people, only lengthens because they never have the time to read books though they want to; I don't believe someone can be a book lover if they can't find time to read books at all, no offence)

7. Books are your idea of beauty

Some people say true book lovers are never reconciled to a Kindle or e-book reader but I beg to differ. I've owned two Kindles since I was 13, and I adore them both like anything. Because if you read 50 books a year and don't own a Kindle... eventually only books will live at your house instead of the people (not a bad idea to be honest).

I wanted to try something new, basically. Gathering my favourite books inside my head, and why not share it here, since so many of my friend here are also book lovers.

Also, it's fun discussing (read: ranting about) books. So if you've read any of these, do let me know!

Here's a photo of our home's library.

And here's a quote for every book lover!
