Vispasaules grāmatu tārpiem!

Kā es mīlu grāmatas un lašīšanu!  Trīsreiz gadā piedalos 24 stundu lasīšanas maratonā, un šoreiz izdomāju vēlreiz apciemot Jettes dienu grāmatu un viņas brīnišķīgos domu graudiņus, it īpaši par grāmatām un lasīšanu.  Cik silti paliek, ka citi Tevi izprot un var pat labāk paskaidrot sajūtas nekā pats spēj to izdarīt. :)

How I love books and reading!  Three times a year I participate in a 24 hour read-a-thon, and this time I decided to revisit Jette's Journal and her incredible pearls of wisdom, especially about books and reading.  It is such a warm feeling when others understand you and can articulate an emotion even more precisely than you ever could. A shout-out to bookworms worldwide! :)

'And today I read as if all my work were finished. Books exhale eternity, and (all other) small tasks become meaningless....'

'Now I have two books, and as always, I won't have peace until they are read. They hide so much beauty inside, and my eyes fly over them like speedy bumblebees from flower to flower, from page to page, drinking up word after word.'

'How can I call myself lonely if sunshine and a book are with me?'

'You can't speak out about a book until you've read it to the end. And shouldn't it be that we can't pass judgement on a person until they've lived their life to the end?'

'Today I didn't do anything and had the feeling it was Sunday: quiet, sunshine and books! I sat with my back to the sun and the opposite wall reflected it - gentle, pale light fell on the pages of my book.'

'Happiness, light, joy all wrapped up together has come to me in the form of a long-awaited book. Never with so much excitement and longing have I turned pages. It seems as if there is a small crackling flame lit under each letter...'

'With a book my endlessly thirsty soul can drink. And I drink as though I'm parched - with huge gulps, not noticing how much is spilling past my lips, and it is not enough and it will never be enough.'

'Are you really so lonely? Look, a grasshopper hopped onto your book, a tiny little grasshopper! A spider crawls across your scarf, and in a moment it has connected you to the rose bush.'

'Putting together colors, I forget myself, the same as when reading books or listening to music.'

'With the outer appearance of a book it is quite the same as with people, because for some books the only value is its beautiful covers, but some books which are worn down and torn offer that which you are looking for and wasn't found in beautiful covers.'

'And didn't I also have a holiday? I stayed up until three-thirty reading a book...'

Lai notiek tā!
