Some memories never fade away ..............
I have been reading mysteries from a very long time. It all happened by chance. I think boredom has to be thanked, at that time.
In the end of Summer of '88, I was both alone and aloof. My elder brother had pity on me, and acted as a brother should: he offered me some short stories. They were small; they were old; but their covers were still as bright as the sun that shines everyday.
I still remember the feeling .. the sensation felt from touching the yellowed papers .. I still recall the chill received when I read the names of the adventurers .. They were five and a dog .. They were friends, and they were intelligent.
And since then, the spark never went off ..
They say that Books are the Best friends, and it is very true.
Yet, all the thanks .. goes to my brother ... whom I may have never thanked ... and to the first mystery book:
The Balloons' Seller:

Reading this post awakened my own memories and the love I always had for these short stories. And I have YOU to thank for reminding me of these 5 smart young friends who contributed in making my youth days more exciting and more fun.
The virus of reading never left me since. I don't read much of the short stories anymore, but I still read mystery novels, thrillers, investigations, Crime Scene Analysis...
I agree with you, Books are Best Friends...
But this reminds me that I still have only one novel left. I guess a visit to a book store is due very soon ;-)

It is very encouraging to feel that you are sharing something with someone ..
The mutual bond .. is unexplainable ...!!!

Just out of curiosity:
What is the novel's title?
The book I'm reading now is Promise Me, by Harlan Coben ;-)

Did I mention that you're incredible?? Did I tell you that you're the best??!!
