Books changed my life, from the day my dad took me to a book store for the time when I was 11 years old. Books became my friends when I was alone and lonely; my teachers when I needed guidance; my guides to far away lands and different periods in history. Books did not change my sexuality, nor made me intolerant of other cultures or people. On the contrary, books made me more compassionate and understanding. The banning, burning of books and censorship of the arts is abhorrent to me. This is my self portrait with books I have loved and been banned at one time or another, including recently.
