The Crane
Although I already lived in the other world children inhabit as a child, reading was my favorite place to escape. Fairytales, lands far away, fables, myths were my favorites. The versions of stories told as they made their way from country to country fascinated me. One that has always stayed in my memory is this; a Japanese folk tale beginning with those well-worn words:

MY 1st book review
Book Review : Changes By Sheldon Pearce I always liked TuPac and his life. I felt like there wasn't a lot of information about him ( well it was ,but it wasn’t very nice about him because they made him turn out like he was the bad guy and showed that a lot of people turned on him even the ones that said that was cool with him.)

A tribute to the works of Seamus Heaney.
I hated poetry as a youngster, and even more so, when I was a school girl, because my old-fashioned Grammar School English teacher made it so boring and inaccessible. I avoided poetry at all costs at university, until I couldn't any more, and then I actually found myself loving 'abstract poetry' of all things. (Check out the works of Wallace Stevens. Loved them!)

Ekushey Book Fair 2021 & Pandemic
Book fair during pandemic & the future of publication industries When I am abstained to the work, no way to breath, sigh of being gasping then my subconscious mind gives me reminder that I haven’t been reading book from two to three days. There is no substitute for books to revive the mind just as it takes oxygen for the body to survive. I think like that. Books make a latent relationship between the body and mind. Matching the life we live, the passing time. For this reason perhaps Rabindranath Tagore said “Books are a bridge between the past and present”

Review of White Fragility by Robin Diangelo & How to be an AntiRacist by Ibram Kendi
Before I begin let me start by saying my review may or may not be an endorsement of these books. I do believe they should be read, and you should never let someone else tell you what is in these books. Most of what they will say will be untrue. I also recomment, Rules for Radicals, by Sail Alinksy, mainly because you will hear people claim he is a communist but once you read that book you will see he despises ideologies because they become too dogmatic. He is simply telling people how to protest injustice and wants both the right and the left to become better. He mainly stats the Communists know how to protest. Another book is, Critical Race Theory, by Richard Delgado & Jean Stefancic, simply so you know what it is.

A book five star rating system
The first book I read was in 1988 “the animal farm” by George Orwell. To tell you frankly I did not enjoy it much because I was rushing for every couple of statement to oxford dictionary to find an explanation for a certain word. Though the book is writing in moderate English level but still my English level capacity was not supporting me. To get to the point my dad, a university teacher specialized in Semitic languages, asked me how did you find the book? In my country, because of politics, the country was super shut down to the world; there were no computers and no internet and NO RATING SYSTEM. I told my dad that the book was nice but a little difficult to understand as my concentration and mind gets disturbed whenever I find a word to fetch for in the dictionary.
