What opinion does Hellenistic have about books

The book is thick and looks somewhat intimidating (but for the same reason also looks great on a coffee table or bookshelf), and in fact it isn’t a book that should be skimmed lightly.
On the other hand, while scholarly, Brennan keeps the book from becoming heavy.
My initial fears that it would contain only technical descriptions of complex techniques turned out to be totally unfounded.
In fact, the book presents some of the best and most readable accounts of the origins of astrology written thus far.
The reader is indeed challenged to pay attention to the plot – but as in any good history, the effort is well rewarded with a deeper understanding of the complexities of the subject.

hey vinod...umm ur question is some what wrong dear...its helen ri8?not helenistic!

Helen is a glowing panegyric to books and the inspiring role the books played in her otherwise dark life. she shared with the audience the deep influence she had from the books since her childhood. We came to know that she read her first connected story in May, 1887, when she was seven years old. The first book that fascinated her imagination was the story of "Little Lord Fauntleroy." Afterwards she read many books such as "Greek Heroes," La Fontaine's "Fables," Hawthorne's "Wonder Book," "Bible Stories," Lamb's "Tales from Shakespeare," "A Child's History of England" by Dickens, "The Arabian Nights," "The Swiss Family Robinson," "The Pilgrim's Progress," "Robinson Crusoe," "Little Women," and "Heidi,". She tells the readers how the Greek stories thrilled her more than the Bible stories; but as she grew old she found the stories in the Bible as enlightening Then she shared with us her love for Shakespeare. She called booksas her friends. She also told us about her favourite authors, writers and poets among which were: Carlyle for his ruggedness and scorn of shams; Wordsworth, who teaches the oneness of man and nature; Hood for his surprises, Herrick for quaintness and the palpable scent of lily and rose in his verses; Whittier for his enthusiasms and moral rectitude, and Mark Twain for his joviality and vivacity.She said Literature was her Utopia. No barrier of the senses shut her out from the sweet, gracious discourse of her book-friends. They talked to her without embarrassment or awkwardness.
