My Relationship With Books .
Books and me have been having a relationship for over 50 years ! We became lovers so very early in my life ! Ever since my childhood , books always attracted me like a magnet ! I found comfort in them , I am always so excited to just hold a book in my hand ! There is a deep respect and reverence for books .
Books are not just words . They are energies waiting to expand, explore and express through us and with us . I see life in them .
Now , try to see or understand books from my point of view . An author creates and expresses his life and experience in the form of words . Knowledge is locked in those written words . Science , religion , philosophy , art, astronomy , economy , medicine . maths and I can go on and on telling you that all knowledge is in those words.
An author or a writer or anyone shares their knowledge and experience in a book . A person's life times knowledge , understanding and experience is in a book , and all I have to do is read it and it has become part of my life too ! Let me share my feelings further , I was once reading the life , struggles and research of a doctor who studied and was able to tell us about a disease known as Malaria . I set and read all that went on for over 40 years in about a night ! Now I had a very good grasp and understanding of this disease and was able to help so many people .
40 life years of a man were now part of me ! So, I am so humbled and honoured to be aware that I have perhaps connected or collected thousands of years of knowledge and understanding of the Human progress .
It's with this in mind that I want to share my experience and my perspective of the many books that I have read over the many years.
I hope you will enjoy my reviews of the books that I will be sharing with you.
I also hope and wish that you too will share your comments with me so that we can share with others.
It's like a ripple effect .
This post was to share with you my wanting to share my reviews on books .
Thank you. Amar/Dr Dhali
