Books are a gateway, an escape, they allow us to dream and wish. To escape during our bad or sad times they allow us to fall in love and learn. They are the best way to travel without ever leaving home. So respect them, love them, and cherish them. And if you write them, keep their integrity, write with professionalism and care, cherish what you write and take pride in it. Writing is as much an art as drawing, or sculpting. So please respect it, and your fellow writers.
