About This Quote

This quote is very true. I have read books in the past for years without realizing it. I have read so many books that I can’t remember when I started reading them. Now, when I walk into a bookshop, I am immediately attracted to the ones that look new and exciting. If you are like me, then you will probably be able to recall all of the books you have read over the years.
