About books.....................

Conrad's manuscript for Heart of Darkness
























Of all the inanimate objects, of all of man's creations, books
are the nearest to us, for they contain our very thought, our
ambitions, our indignations, our illusions, our fidelity to truth,
our persistent leaning towards error.  But most of all they
resemble us in their precarious hold on life.

-Joseph Conrad
