23 Aprile, Giornata Mondiale del Libro
Amo i libri. Leggerli. A volte li fotografo anche. Sono parte della mia vita.
I love books. Reading. Sometimes I take pictures of them. They are a part of my life.
Oggi è la Giornata Mondiale del Libro. E allora festeggiamo!
Today is the World Book Day. Than let’s celebrate!

Ma… voi cosa state leggendo in questi giorni? But…what are you reading in these days?

Wishing every day could be book day. So much warmth and companionship in your book shots. At the moment I am reading two books Beloved, by Toni Morrison and The Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem.
Books can be the friends to share your life with. And your apartment…

Reading has been a part of my life, quite seriously, since I was around eight years of age, when I received my first illustrated encyclopedia. I still read, although most of it is now done on my Kobo e-reader. Occasionally I visit my local library, just for a change and to smell the books! Currently I’m reading on my Kobo from the collected works of Rabindranath Tagore — from a visit to Japan in 1916 a lecture he gave; he was certainly very in touch with the people, the heart of the people. I like him.
I like your collection of photo-books and colourful shelves. If you have nothing else in a room, bookshelves provide plenty of colour.
Thanks, nice to know another passionate reader like these photos 🙂

Robert, I like your quiet style…
I love books too, Robert. Always have. To my amazement when my sister gave me a Kindle I loved it too. I get my books on there now. Although one thing is for certain, I would never read a picture book to my grandsons on a Kindle. In that case only a real book will do.
Books let people top travel in the space and in the time without leaving home! It’s great!

Qualche anno fa, ho avuto la fortuna di festeggiare questa ricorrenza particolare in Catalogna. Nel giorno di San Giorgio (patrono di Barcellona e della Catalogna) Barcellona si riempie di bancarelle di libri e di rose. La tradizione, infatti, vuole che gli uomini regalino alle donne una rosa, che loro poi ricambiano con l’acquisto di un libro. L’atmosfera in città era davvero bella – peccato che non abbia neanche una foto ricordo!
In questo giorni sto finendo “One day” di David Nicholls. Davvero molto coinvolgente. Ciao Robert!
Adesso che la scrivi ricordo di aver sentito parlare di questa faccenda dei libri e delle rose…ne ho una che sta sbocciando sul mio terrazzo, quando sarà fiorita la regalerò a mia moglie…

I am a little ashamed to acknowledge that I didn’t even know it was the World Book Day last week – despite the fact that I love books too. Right now I am ready Age of Extremes by Eric Hobsbawn, a very interesting historical look at last century.
No need to be ashamed, me too didn’t know it till middle of the afternoon! That’s why I posted it late in the afternoon with a collection of already taken photos, otherwise I had preferred to make a special shot for the occasion!
Myself, I’m reading a book from Lilli Gruber about her family in Tyrol starting from just before the first world war till the years of fascism. It’ s part of a trilogy and very interesting to see how the story changed the lives of so many people.

Una serie di immagini molto suggestive e poetiche – bellissime.
Grazie, ogni tanto mi riescono bene 🙂

A singhiozzo sto leggendo -Rete Padrona- di Federico Rampini.
Saluti,
Certamente un testo interessante al giorno d’oggi.
