Books here, books there, books everywhere!

.
Wherever I look, whenever I turn around, I find myself surrounded by books, and of course, by stories. And this is simply great!

We celebrated the International Book Day and Languages Day last Saturday; many of the schools I know and I usually "story-visit" are hosting their own book fairs (great for them!); La Feria de Libro de Buenos Aires has opened its doors to visitors of all ages and nationalities; and Buenos Aires has been declared "La Capital Mundial del Libro."

What a lot of great chances to inspire those around us with books and stories! And what a great chance to get together and READ! Do it with your kids, friends, students, colleagues! Do it with everybody!

To celebrate reading, and books, and stories in this special month, here go a few quotes on the topic: food for thought!

So long!

"Some books leave us free and some books make us free."

"Some books are to be tasted; others swallowed; and some to be chewed and digested."

Francis Bacon

"No entertainment is so cheap as reading,

nor any pleasure so lasting."
