Ramblings about myself...

Personal Library of Books
I'm very emotional about the books I own. And I buy every book worth reading. I do everything in my capacity to take good care of them. You can say a book by its looks that it belongs to me :) One sure-shot way to win my wrath is to ill-treat my books. For a few things that I hate people do to books is: use pencil/pen as bookmark, dog-ear the pages, mark lines without a proper ruler, or drop food particles while they eat-n-read.
| These are few of the books
present in my small personal library. Except for a few
books I have read most of them from cover-to-cover. For
you can't read them any other way :) |
