A beautifully ordered sequence of words. A combination of letters, stringed together into thoughts, translated into ideas and emotions, thrown onto paper. A delicate, fragile, yet unbreakable truth that enters your mind, and runs down to your bones. Books are characters and themes and mental experiences offered to you when you are displeased with Earth. When you would rather be in a world secured, confined to a selection of papers brought to you in one piece. A beautifully binded collection of thoughts carefully protected by a hard, colourful cover, with a simple label: A 'title' and 'author', so you know where you're going, and exactly who is taking you there. Flick through the pages, embark on your journey. Here: this front cover is your ticket.
