Books, libraries to these new day bookstore... I don't know there is something in there which attract me towards them...... Something which I just can't resist.
Libraries equipped with wonderful books and more importantly inviting spaces, it's a boon. Love at first sight. Truly.
I find it so peaceful to be in midst of columns of books. The smell of old yellowing paper. The shine of new ones and the sharp rustling sound they make.
I even have favorites. Like the old language books from school... one I used to frequent as a kid. And some I hate - like the one at my alma mater - SSEC. That one was designed to discourage readers and reading alike. So boxy.
However, I feel the most nostalgic about the "book clubs" we used to form during the summer vacations. The neighborhood kids used to pitch in their precious comic books together. Its amazing to think that as 10 year olds we knew the importance of sharing. A skill that most grown ups lack

Yes. I can so relate to this. Weird that life follows such a circle.
