Books on a Balcony...
Along with my dreams, it is in these pages that I live my life....Ok I know I am supposed to be in this picture myself and also that I am supposed to review one particular book! However I could not make my mind up as to which book I liked most and so I have posted a number of great books, all of which I would recommend! Perhaps if I were to choose one I would probably lean towards 'Oil!' by Upton Sinclair. You may know that this is the book which inspired the movie,'There Will Be Blood', featuring Daniel Day-Lewis. Anyway it tells the story of Bunny a young oil magnates son, who is torn between his loyalty to his father and his sympathy towards the emerging Workers Union and Socialist movement. It is a fantastic and absorbing read which still holds much resonance for today's society!!

Hey, then take another shot with Oil... because this entry will not be considered for publication :p Seriously, though I liked this photo & I too believe that books bring happiness in life... But as I said earlier... Shoot yourself ( with oil ) ! ( By camera of course!!! hahaha) Then add it for this theme... I will wait for that photo ok? Thanks for your visits & nice comments :)
