If I buy a book and give you, whether you ask or not, I am telling you in my own unique language that "I, Blessed Abraham, love you."
It is that simple. It is not a feeling that I can fake. I don't buy books for people, I even rarely lend out my books. I'm a book hoarder. I put a lot of thought into the books I buy, I go lenghts to find them and I think of you throughout the entire process. Who are you? What sort of personality do you have? What is your taste? Will this sing and be special to you? And most importantly, will you see my feelings through this gift?
It is not a random act, it is not friendship. I can shake your hand or like your posts and that's being friendly. I can send you data or airtime and that's enough for being friends. I can call you, or text you. That's what friends to. Buying a book is something more to me. It is something I enjoy doing, and it feels more special when I do it for someone I hold in that special place where life begins and ends. My heart.
Books is very important
