April 23 is World Book Day.
“Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand.” Ezra Pound (1885 - 1972)
If I had to choose just one word to describe what I think about reading I’d go for freedom.
How does reading make you feel? Any book suggestions?
“To learn a language besides one’s native idiom, to penetrate its syntax, is to open for oneself a second window on the landscape of being.” Steiner, G. (1971)
