This is part of February Love is in Da Blog at Just fooling Around With Be said : “I dedicated Tuesdays to “Teaser Tuesday” over at “A Daily Rhythm” and books we love. Choose a book that you deeply love and read time and time again. Or actually, pick a book about love. Either follow the “Teaser Tuesday” Rules, do a book review, dedicate a sentence to the author or just write anything you please about that book you love.”
I love books I love their smell and their feel
I so love to climb inside them they make me real.
Black words upon the white page
Words of love, hate, joy, pain, lust and rage.
I can only read a book once, twice would be too much
Loving words as I do I commit them to memory
They remain with me like a lover’s touch
In my head they stay flooding my mind always to be with me.

Teaser Tuesday My most beloved book. A thousand Splendid Suns
“Miriam wished for so much in those final moments. Yet as she closed her eyes, it was not regret any longer but a sensation of abundant peace that washed over her. She thought of her entry into this world, the harami child of a lowly villager, an unintended thing, a pitiable, regrettable accident. A weed. And yet she was leaving the world as a woman who had loved and been loved back. She was leaving it as a friend, a companion, a guardian. A mother. A person of consequence at last. No. It was not so bad, Miriam thought, that she should die this way. Not so bad. This was a legitimate end to a life of illegitimate belongings.”
― Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns
“Each snowflake was a sigh heard by an aggrieved woman somewhere in the world. All the sighs drifted up the sky, gathered into clouds, then broke into tiny pieces that fell silently on the people below. As a reminder of how women suffer.”
― Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns
