Most of us don’t pay enough attention to our bookshelves. Now try and change that. Take the time to sit down and caress the worn out spines of your books, feel the weight of its knowledge as you wipe off the layers of dust on its cover. Books are essentially vessels of wisdom and how you organize your bookshelf further reveals your state of mind at different points in life. Rearrange it to take stock of your collection and reflect on how your mental landscape has stretched over the years to accommodate different titles; just like how your mind has broadened to include different issues and priorities once foreign to you. As you gently push your Jeffery Archer collection aside to make way for Kenzaburo Oe and Hanya Yanagihara, take some time to think about what this signifies and appreciate the person you have become.
