"A Reader Lived A Thousand Lives Before He Dies, The Man Who Never Reads Lives Only Once"   - George RR Martin 
 

I believe that a book is a place where you can lose yourself in a world that you wish was true or that you would love to do but probably never will. Or to be a different person for one or two maybe even three days before you have to come back to reality. 
It's a magical place to be apart of. 
It all starts somewhere. So why not end it in a good book
