The coolest, friendliest pet store ever.

No book could hold my attention. However, when I moved to the States, I started reading magazines. Somehow, the combination of text and pictures attracted me. Then I discovered I could read them for free at the library. I went from not reading at all, to magazines, then finally REAL books. The rest, as they say was history.

Today both Marcel and I use the library a lot. From DVD movies and documentaries to all kinds of books and even cultural passes, we use them all. For FREE. If they don’t have the book you are looking for, they can get it from another library NATIONWIDE, for FREE or almost FREE. So far I have been getting them for FREE.

Generally, I have 3-4 titles I am reading. All non-fiction. Fiction books do not appeal to me but I am always trying to learn something new. Here are some that I am reading right now. Do you have any book recommendations along these topics?
