Classics

A couple of days ago, I came across this interesting saying -

You will be the same person in five years as you are today, except for the people you meet and the books you read.

So well said! A good book - like meeting a good human being - expands our consciousness, by opening us up to a heightened awareness and a widened perspective. And we are never the same person again!

"Pride & Prejudice" constitutes my first teenage memories of classics that would really shape my character in many little ways in the years to follow. Only a brilliant author like that can transport you into the deep recesses, and the inner workings of the wonderful minds and hearts of the characters so lovingly her own creation! - thus transforming your personality in some small or, big way - forever!!
