| I read something lean in one sitting after a long time. The words seem to flow effortlessly— four nights and a morning. Having read some of Dostoevsky’s bio, who had been on the verge of death, who had seen poverty closely for most of his life, and w ...more | |

| A very poignant story of mother and son, being queer and the making of a writer. Absolutely enjoyed reading it, and I am sure you will too! | |
"Reading this feels like unraveling the mysteries of your own inner self. It feels like reliving the moments, those memories, which once were your present, engulfing you with nostalgia. My personal favourite is Rains. "

A beautiful collection of a myriad of poems, this book touches the heart in many ways. Poems such as Leave, A Walk to Remember and Photograph evoke deep memories and a sense of nostalgia. There are others that offer strength" Read more of this review » |

“Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”

“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”
