Bookworms. I don't even like the word. Still, it applies to me - I have been one as far back as I can remember and I cannot imagine life otherwise. The truth is that very few things match the pleasure of a good book and the joys, the knowledge it gives you. Don't tell me you don't have time to read. Don't tell me book lovers hide in books and forget to live; comfortable with second-hand experiences. Book lovers live a thousand lives, they write a thousand books, they travel in time and space. Book lovers are scary. They know so much, they have seen the depths of human souls, they have seen the light and touched the darkness, they have an understanding of things other people will never have.
I don't know how this blog will develop or if it will. I don't know if it will be for students, for friends, only for me. If I will just share images, quotes, texts I like, students' work or if I will share my readings and opinions (silly me, thinking someone might care!). Posts may be in English or in Portuguese - I guess this will be something hybrid, allowing for many developments and interpretations. Such as books!
