Bookshelf

Whenever I am in need of a book, paper, or invoice, I forage into all shelves and closets both at my home and workplace. Today, I tried to organize all the documents and books in my house. I excavated all the memorabilia and looked at my book collection. I had all kinds of books: technical, children's, fiction, thriller, hornbook, documentary, etc.
All children's books are about ideals. Adult fiction sets out to portray and then explain the world as it really is; books for children present it as it should be.
– Humphrey Carpenter

Currently, I am reading “The Innocent Man” by John Grisham. The book is based on real-life incidents. It even has the pictures of the characters described. That proved the verity of the quote above.
