A visit to the library!

Stepping inside the threshold of the place I would rather call my second home, I completely felt at ease! The thought that entered my mind was – “Ah! Here is the place for me!” And it proved to be true! 5 minutes in and I was literally drooling over books! Dismissing the fact that it was hot inside and I couldn’t yet see any reading room (There must be one), I was enjoying myself.

After two weeks of perseverance, I finally received my library card, enabling me to enter it and borrow books. (Four books for one week) As I entered, I skimmed though the placards of each bookshelf. I automatically proceeded towards the one that said ‘English Fiction’. And my goodness! To borrow a certain phrase, ruptures of joy engulfed my life!(One of my friends continuously uses this morbid phrase!)

Surfing through all the shelves, I found many books of interest, especially the literary criticism ones and the fiction novels. Many of them were pretty old and there were many original editions which would prove to be an interesting read. The most fascinating part ~ the musty smell, the grainy touch and the awesome view of stacks of books! I believe I will be spending most of my free time there! Yay for a life of books!

Due to lack of time, I couldn’t yet surf all the shelves. Tomorrow, I hope to explore more of that awesome world and be lost in the sea of books!  Yay! I love this!
