The Magic of Reading

"I believe that stories have this power- they enter us, transport us, they change things inside us, so invisibly, so minutely, that sometimes, we're not even aware that we come out of a great book as a different person from the person we were when we began reading it."
- Julia Alvarez

Current Reading List
"Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown
- I'm curious to why the auther uses arabic words in this book. I guess all have
to keep reading to find out or maybe do a little research on this book.

"The Map of the World" by Jane Hamilton
- I gave this book to one of my friends to borrow 5-6 years ago and I got it back a few
months ago. It's bothering me that I can't remember what the book is about. I usually only
recommend books that I think are a good read. I figure it's worthwhile to read it again.

"Long Walk to Freedom" by Nelson Mandela
- This is the autobiography of Nelson Mandela and it was recommended to me by my dad.

Anyone have any book recommendations?
