The main aim of World Book Day (WBD) is to encourage people to explore the pleasures of books and reading.
Someone wise once told me he felt old people were like books. So full of knowledge and interesting stories. I agree with him...I feel every person is like a book.
There are so many great books out there, just imagine how many more there would be if every person decided to write their own life's story, or to share a bit of their imagination...it would be great. And if more people took interest in reading whatever books appeal to them (there's something for everyone out there)...we would be less ignorant and therefore more tolerant and loving. We would be wiser.
A book is a great companion. A notebook ain't all that bad either. Nowadays, people read more and more from their computers and iphones, so maybe this day will some day be named "reading day" instead of "book day". Modern times...it's wonderful the way information is more accesible to everyone everywhere. Anyhow: NOTHING can ever replace a book. A book is a book.
Read up---and for those who can and like to: write up! There is so much to learn from a good book. A book can change your life!!!
Ok. Happy book day!
I know. Enough with earth day, book day, pencil day...I will stop- until Mother's Day, May 10th.
