"The largest room in the world is the room for self improvement" --author unknown
I like the book titled 'Follow Your Heart' by the writer cum illustrator Andrew Matthews.
He is also the writer of the million seller book 'Being Happy'. I'm greatly inspired by his writing.
All works by Jane Austen ,fave is Persuasion(Penguin Classics) followed by Pride & Prejudice
I enjoy reading books written by Helene Hanff especially '84 Charing Cross Road'
This charming classic, first published in 1970, brings together 20 yrs of correspondence
between Helene, a free lance writer living in New York, and a used-book dealer in London.
Through the years, though never meeting and separated both geographically and culturally,
they share a winsome, sentimental friendship based on their common love for books.
