Donated books will be published on this page from time to time, along with the donor's thoughts/messages. With the power of a book, you can meet people and ideas, and hear new stories. Even if the same book is read by two different people, they will each have their own different impression, giving you a new light on the world. Please enjoy this archive where you can experience a simulated experience of another's thoughts.
