Silhouettes of Real Things
Grandpa Bernie died from a stroke in 1994. I was only three years old then so I don't have any memories of him. But there have been bits and pieces of him left behind that affected me as I got older. I have a stuffed rabbit and a picture of him handing it to me on my first Easter. I have stories of him and the kind of man he was that was told to me by my family. Most importantly, I have a book of poems he wrote which was published after he passed away.

Through Wardrobes
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - and actually the entire Narnia series - is one of the first full books I remember my parents reading to me, then reading and even re-reading the entire set to myself at a young age, and already thinking I must re-read again when I'd forgotten too much.

I noticed it on my parents' shelf and decided to bring it with me. However, it wasn't until the long journey to Mae Sot that I finally started reading it.

Less Than Nothing
Less than Nothing is my New Journey as a reader I had already some great laughs with it. I bought it some years ago together with another giant but as this one was the heaviest in a paper version and I remembered my vision was worser than now as I was stuck to the screen as of designing passion and studying some language courses online I was only able to sit with some books as a break late at night until my vision was going worser and I needed to take a break. So it wasn't even a question that I needed to wait for this one.
