My Love for books

Ever since I can remember , have loved to read and collect books . It started at the age of 5 when my baby brother was born and i was packed of to live at my aunt's place for some 15 days. My cousin introduced me to a world of books , Enid Blyton's Bimbo and Topsy , one of the first books that i read.... I guess i could say my love for books started then, and ever since then and in the past twenty years , having read over 2000 books , was always searching for one word which would describe this attraction i had towards not just the reading beacuse that can be done nowadays through the internet , but the actual holding of the book , the owning it, coveting it and collecting it religiously, I have hereby termed myself a Bibliophile.

Bibliophilia is the love of books . The classic bibliophile is one who loves to read, collect or admire books , often amassing great collections. I can relate to that since i hate to throw away even the smallest of books magazines, its been a dream to have a library of my own
