<div class="text-justify">These past few days, I have plunged into a complete rut, mentally. It got so bad that I actually couldn't even use hive. I haven't been active for a while, and my content quality has dropped. It is not a nice place to be. To put it quite simply; I have been feeling like shit. Ironically, just a few weeks before now, I was really feeling good about everything and doing well. oh Well, worry not, I am going to drag myself out of this pit; and yes, you guessed it; <I>THROGH BOOKS.</I></div>

#### THE BOOKSTORE VISIT

<div class="text-justify">A few days ago, I decided to pay a visit to my folks. They live across town so it is usually quite the journey. It's not far, just a really stressful thing trying to get across the city. Before I got home, I stopped by my usual bookstore. It is this place where tons of old books are shipped across the country to there. It is always a delight to have to pick a copy or two from them whenever I get the chance. A few years ago, I got <i>the Davinci code</i> from there, then I got <i>The appeal by John Grisham</i> and then one other Stephen King book. Today, I am sharing with you guys my new additions from there.</div>

<div class="text-justify">I was scanning through this avalanche of books and I had no idea what to pick, then my eyes settled on <i>Mario Puzo.</i> I have read one of his books, <i>Six Graves to Munich</i>, and I can categorically tell you, this is a master at work. At the time I was starting to get into fiction and reading that book was everything. It was Fast-paced, thrilling, suspense-filled, everything I tell you. He is also the author of <i>The Godfather </i>; a crime novel about a mafia family. A book that received a lot of critical acclamation and has also been adapted into, movies and stuff. A big part of the book was also based on reality. One of his best works. I look forward to reading <i>The family</i>.

<div class="text-justify">Well if you know me, you'd know I am a big fan of Dan Brown. He is a legend. After reading Davinci's code, I know this man was a genius at writing. His fictional character, <i>Robert Langdon</i> really put me at the edge of my seat since I started reading about his adventures. Back in the Seminary, I was reading Angels and Demons, and I was halfway through. One of the in-house priests borrowed me from his library, so I had to return it before I left. Now, I need to finish it. Digital Fortress is just another exciting adventure I can wait to get into. Getting these books, and adding them to my collection was a no-brainer.</div><br>

I got all three for around $10, and I am so happy with the business I have done. Now whenever I do get a visitor, I know what to put up as a suggestion. Thank you for reading. Cheers.
