A way to pass the time (5 years and 180 days ago)
Lovely, and they say you only retain 10 percent! I like the clarity and the background to this "pile". I'm writing to you from Vietnam and today we had a coffee with a 77 year old vet who fought in the "American War" (you call it the Vietnamese War). What a sad life he has had and 15 days ago he lost his 52 year old son to a traffic accident.
You don't have any books by Plato up in your pile, but as Plato said (or it could have been Socrates) ...."remember whomever you meet that they are fighting a private war!" (or something like that).
I know I know this isn't much of a photography critique but I just felt like writing this because of your photo!
Yeah, I got very lucky personally. The Vietnam War ended the year before I was to sign up for the draft. I had the benefit of being military age in while it was part of the only 17 years our country hasn't been at war in our whole history.
My Plato is at my office, but the top left is Buddha
Congrats.

Excellent choice for the 2 visible titles, I wonder what the other 2 are?
They all have two stories in them.
The brown one on the bottom is the Adventures of Tom Sawyer and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
The blue one on top of it is Frankenstein and Dracula.
The pink one that you can see titled Through the looking glass also has Alice in Wonderland included.
And you've read them all, I hope.
Of course. I reread them to my grandkids too. Can't have kids growing up without knowing those stories.

You have some dust spots on your sensor, image is soft with colour cast and the drape takes our attention away from the main focal point. The story is strong and tells us how books are valued in this home.
