As long as I can remember I have always loved to read, but in 2010 this changed drastically. My grandfather, who also was a big fan of reading, killed himself. He and i was close and my life only went downhill from there. I found myself being mentally ill, and i decided to do something with it. For the first time in almosf three years, i picked up a book again. I found this as a distraction from otger things. Not going into details. If it hadnt been for the distraction i got from books when I was at my lowest, I most likely would not be here today. I'm owing my life to all the great books i read back then ! And I will forever be gratful!
