cookbooks, trashy romance novels from my teens. It also has playbills, movie stubs, old letters.
I wish I would have brought my books from Pakistan. My parents had such a great Urdu collection. When my grandfather sold his house, the books went with them  |

they gave the books away?!

yes Muniya - some were signed by authors. I try to recall some good stories and share with my girls.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

topics of interest: World History, Poetry, Law, Business, Natural History, Urdu Literature (all sorts), and selected biographies.
