CANDLELIT CHRONICLES: HISTORIC HAUNTS

Welcome to the Universal Library!

Prompt: "I had always imagined Paradise as a kind of library." Do you agree with this? Write anything you want about this.





Oh my yes! The Universal Library would be Paradise and Heaven all rolled into one. I ask to live there for an eternity, plus to be given perfect eyesight and "all the time in the world." Oh wait! Eternity would give me even more time than that.


I want to be able to read everything I ever wanted to read--both fiction and nonfiction--yes, even poetry; and I want to be able to read multiple books at once and comprehend and never stop reading.





I read of The Universal Library once years ago in a science fiction novel. I always thought it was by Gordon Dickson, but I have never been able to find it again. Oh well, I'm certain I can find it once I reach the Universal Library.
