For the love of books

Posted on by Ishita Gupta

“Will you ever be able to like a person?” my friend asked.

“I like many people. What kind of a question is that?”

“You know what I mean!”

I sighed and replied – “In this world that you call real? Never.”

I looked at my bookshelf and silently thanked all the books for totally screwing up my life. Because the world I lived in seemed fictional. And theirs real. I only liked them; only loved them.

But I was happy.

I think books are the only thing keeping me sane during this period of quarantine. They definitely deserved a post.

    1. Oh! It’s not my library…..just a picture that I found on the net and wished it was mine. I do have a lot of books though! The feel of a book in your hands is certainly amazing📚🌸
