A place to blod all the good books you are reading, isbn and or amazon links would be nice!
Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. They are engines of change, windows on the world, lighthouses erected in the sea of time. --Barbara W. Tuchman
