    <about><![CDATA[My books are my friends. Even when there is nothing and no one else, you can always cuddle up with a book. Just like all people too, there are the good ones and the bad ones.  But unlike people that disappoint you, books you you can fling across the room and hear the satisfying THWACK as they hit the wall, hard. ]]></about>
