the War of the Roses and Richard III

 

Richard was not the villain that his enemies and Shakespeare depicted. He had good qualities, both as a man and a ruler, and showed a sound judgment of political needs...

this is my idea of journey now...

books are the plane, are the train, are your feet and your eyes, they are the road, they are the destination and the journey, they are home and away...they are a winding mountain path or a lonely shore...I have always travelled a lot in the past, I have seen many places and experienced different cultures that have taught me to be more tolerant towards mine and have opened my eyes and have helped me see my country under a new light...Some people say that "travel broadens the mind", that's true for reading as well...

let me know what you think...

You've got a friend

 

lean on me when you're not strong

I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on
