On friends and friendships

"Sometimes I think books are the only friends worth having."

                                                                                      -- Susie Derkins (in Bill Watterson's Calvin & Hobbes)




I feel this sometimes in life. They don't judge you, they only open themselves to give you more knowledge. If you disagree with a book, you can just close it shut and its realm doesn't exist anymore. If you disagree, it won't tell you that you're wrong. It gives you its views, you may absorb them for your life, or cast them away right then. 


Best of all, it is the sweetest escape from reality, you live another life in a book.
