Another eclectic mix of books awaits collection at the post office. It's one of several parcels I expect to arrive over the next couple of weeks from Angus & Robertson, the Book Depository, Booktopia, and ebay. Happy days await me!
My library is my sanctuary, full of books, some profound originals, others obscure little books that appeared out of nowhere, all of a kind that I hesitate to lend out for fear I might miss their company.
They are books which once I have read them, I will never go completely back to where I was before. They whisper of some ancient knowing and from a time forgotten that life may be more than it seems, and less.
I shall await those collections until the final day when they collect me.
