    Who
    My name's Anita Wirawan and I love stories :).

    I read/watch a lot of stories and like to share the most interesting and unusual ones here to see what everyone else thinks about them.

    Why
    I had originally started this blog as a way to get things together after my brother Jody died back in 2008, but it's turned into a lot more than that.

    I hope you'll find the stories that you need here.

    What Next
    Feel free to look around the blog and add your own thoughts or stories, I'd love to hear 'em.

  • “But ideas lie everywhere, like apples fallen and melting in the grass for lack of wayfaring strangers with an eye and a tongue for beauty, whether absurd, horrific, or genteel.”
    - Ray Bradbury
    Zen In The Art Of Writing

Alive On The Shelves

“These are not books, lumps of lifeless paper, but minds alive on the shelves.”
- Gilbert Highet

I don’t necessarily like how this is worded because it immediately made me think of rows of pulsating brains sitting on library shelves, but maybe that’s just me lol.

However I do like what this quote is saying and I think it’s very true. Reading is like having an author talk to you and tell you their thoughts or ideas, or take you on a trip through their imagination.
