ATTENTION: I'm Selling My Books!

I'm just going to come right out and say it: I'm selling my books. 

No, I haven't gone mad. I am still in love with reading and I still want to have my own library one day (when I can afford the space). The books I'm selling aren't stuff that I picked up, read, and found okay but forgettable. Here are some really good pieces of literature that I've enjoyed and would write reviews about if I wasn't afflicted by chronic writer's laziness.

Obviously, I'm selling them to raise money. I wish I can say that I'm going to be using the money to buy a tablet, or to update my dumb phone to a smart phone, or even to have the screen of my lappy fixed (right now, the laptop screen is dark and flickering, threatening to die on me anytime). Not really. I'm selling my books because some of my important people have/had family in places Super Typhoon Yolanda wrecked havoc to, and these people need help.

To be blunt, I have nothing else to give but my love. I wish it were enough, but you see, love isn't really in the first level of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. My love for these people will not relieve their hunger and pain. Prayers and emotions are ok, but those won't keep them alive.

So I's selling my books, because it might help a couple of survivors or so. Because even if it hurts me, those people who've gone through this disaster are hurting more, and will probably be hurting for a long time.
