A Sense of the World by Jason Roberts (My secondhand trade paperback copy)

A Sense of the World – Book Review

I dream of going blind someday. It’s been one of my lifelong fantasies. I have several personal reasons for wishing this but those would remain a secret for now. I’m sharing this dream though so you’d understand why this particular book now holds a special place in my heart. It changed me in a huge way. In fact, I now owe my newly reshaped goals in life to this unlikely story of a blind traveler.

I wish I never liked reading books…

I wish I never liked reading books…

Right now, I feel like if I had a magic lamp, I’ll make just one wish. I wish I could forget all of these reading stuff and be just like everyone else.
