Library
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies . . . The man who never reads lives only one.” —George R.R. Martin
Welcome to the Soulcruzer Library—a quiet alcove off the main path. This isn’t a review page. Just a slow-burning record of the books I’ve wandered through and the ones I’m still walking with.
Some of these titles are dog-eared and weathered, companions from other lifetimes. Others are fresh arrivals, still humming with the scent of possibility. All of them have shaped the contours of my intellect and imagination—offering breadcrumbs, torches, riddles, and refuge.
I believe books are more than objects—they’re portals. Each one is a conversation with another mind, another age, another facet of ourselves. To read is to remember that we are never alone. To read deeply is to discover that our inner life has roots in stories far older than us.
So think of this library as a glimpse at my bookshelf.
May you find in these pages what your soul has been circling toward.

Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
A whisper from the ancient world, still echoing with quiet power. The Tao Te Ching isn’t a book to be read so much as sipped like morning mist—slow, paradoxical, alive. Each verse folds the cosmos into a handful of words, offering not answers but invitations: to loosen our grip, walk with the Way, and live from the uncarved block. It’s a compass for those drawn to simplicity, mystery, and the poetry of being. I return to it often—not to understand it, but to be changed by it.
