today i would like to tell you about the books that i read and to remind you that i started using good reads this year, so you can follow my reading progress here.
when i wrote "writing has been my solution from a very young age. everything that had happened and had mattered a lot to me, had to be documented in this or that (written) way. it is a meditation for me, it is a medication for me", i actually had to use "words" instead of "writing", because it is the power of words, that save me. both reading and writing is my remedy from everything. words are my favourite company, my guards and my heroes. they are always there for me in the form that i am free to choose. when i feel like i am full of thoughts - i write, when i feel empty and lost - i read. it sounds magical, but no matter what the problem is, i always feel better after doing one of those things. perfect solution? doing both.
so, a little bit more than a week ago i had to buy a present for a friend, i knew right away i would buy her a book. for a second, i wondered whether i would not be boring by making this obvious choice, but then realized that i am always happy to get a book and she is the same. a book i bought and, i hope, she liked it. of course, while "visitting" a bookstore online, i could not stop myself from buying a couple of books for myself. i did not have anything particular in mind and decided to buy something i have never heard of. this is what i do from time to time and the process of choosing is always a lot of fun.
