Chapter by Chapter: Embracing National Book Lovers Day
Hai My Readers,
Sreelakshmi Here ...
Who all love to read Books.... :)
Aug 9th NATIONAL BOOK LOVERS DAY ..this day I would like to remember my Fav Book ...
My favorite book is Paulo Coelho's Alchemist ...which teleports us immediately to another world "Santiago's World of Finding Treasure" I reccomend every one should begin with Alchemist .In this era of Mobile phones and Advanced Ai, Artificial Intelligence , VR it is a blessing to have a Reading Heart . Reading books have turned into traditional way where Audiobooks and PodCasts rule ,Yet I know some person who depend on Books and their smell ..
There was a time I cried for Balarama and Magic Pot, I cried for books ,but at that time my family financial condition was not good so my parents were not able to afford books , only have money for food ..but it increased my craving to read book . I remember the first time I stepped inside a Library , our school library ...is it heaven !!! It's the first time I am seeing lakhs of books together !!! I was so happy to receive my first book in hand " Amarchitrakadha" I was addicted to that specific book which have lot of Volumes ..I read my book first and after that only I change my uniform.The next day I took another book from the library . Then my book list increased to Panchathantra , Children Stories , Robinson's books and lot more .But I was afraid to take giant books ...i even remember the first giant book I read was Harry potter .. It's a fantasy created by J.K Rowling ..
Say your story now to your friends...
