World Book Day ( ENSINUS ETP/INETE )

Books

“Don’t juge a book by their cover”

“I loved her so much that I, instead of giving her flowers,

 I gave her books, because flowers last for a few days,

 a good book lasts for a life.”

Albert Einstein

 

 

There are several books;  They are everywhere, anywhere, somewhere…Where there's life there are books.

Whether in a library, a bookshop, on a shelf waiting to be read, or even with no right to a shelf or a bookmark, for some reason.

There are books with strong covers, soft ones, without a cover (or almost without one), there are others that are still to be unwrapped, but all of them have a story. Books that are still being created, that are old classics already widely read and recognised. There are books that nobody likes but everybody reads and knows, there are others with a wonderful story but nobody knows or wants to read.

There are books that readers only get to know the story because they recognise the author, because they like the cover or because someone talked about the book. But to make that fair judgement it is necessary to read the context of the books, however we all know that it is easier to judge by what the book appears to be.

Books laugh, cry, fall in love, hurt, inspire, teach, take you to places you never imagined, bring new emotions, bring nostalgia...they all left a litle bit of themselves in those who read them, with more or less impact, but they all end on some page. 

Even if it's hard to leave them, readers have to read other books, we will never find the same story in a different book, and that's what makes each book so special and unforgettable. Everything is temporary, even books

 

For someone enjoy reading one book, we have to dislike another. There are not exactly good or bad books. There are books, books with different stories, just as there are different readers with different interpretations of the same book.

 

Maybe this story is not only about books!
