I like books and bookshop.org is asking me to buy books. I've got 3 spaces on my bookshelf.

Is there a book special to you that you want to share? I'd love to hear about it and why it's special to you.

Any genre, any language, anything at all. I just like discussing books.

@miffyhelen A variety:

"Wind, Sand, and Stars" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry of "Little Prince" fame--a lyrical memoir about the aviator's service in the mail routes across the Sahara and Andes.

"The Golden Age" by John C. Wright (Vol. 1 of The Golden Age series)--astonishing fantasy about the future of human existence, and transcendence

"Devotions" by Mary Oliver--luminous poetry: "What will you do/With your one wild and transcendent life?"

"Deep Wheel Orcadia" by Harry Giles

@JeanieBurrell I loved Wind, Sand, and Stars! I have a soft spot for Monsieur Antoine. I've added the others to my wishlist. ❤️
@miffyhelen It's been too long since I've read him, perhaps I should...AIEEEEE! (buried in an avalanche of books I haven't read yet)
