Good morning my friends!
I have almost finished listening to another book written by Dan Brown, <The Lost Symbol>. It was as intense as his other books. I usually listen to the audiobooks in my car when I am driving or when I exercise.

Listening to the books does make my commuting to work feels shorter. But often I found myself blicking my eyes a lot when the stories got more intense. It's not safe to do that while driving at high speed. I had to remind myself that it's only a story, a fiction, not real to calm myself down.
From listening to this book, I got to know more about the U.S. capital, the Smithsonian Museum, the cathedrals, and the Library of Congress. It amazed me that there are so many bookshelves in this library that if they were to be lined up, it would've reached from New York City to Boston.
I've always fascinated by the Library of Congress. When I was a graduate student, I had learned that all Ph.D. dissertations from the U.S. universities would be achieved by this library. For the exact reason, I had dedicated my dissertation to the names of my parents. I thought that doing this was the best way to memorize my parents from their son because my "book" would be in there forever.
And today is still Father Day here. Cheers!
