Que boa idéia! Já estou seguindo o seu blog. Espero que mais pessoas se interessem pelo seu projeto!

❝ The reading of a fine book is an uninterrupted dialogue in which the book speaks and our soul replies. ❞
André Maurois


❝ My reading schedule is not at all a regular and placid ingestion of books. Either a book bores me and I put it aside, or it excites me and I constantly want to stop reading it so that I can think about what I’ve just read - which is also reflected in the way I read for my work: I’m unable, unwilling, to sum up a book, to efface myself behind a capsule description of it on an index card, but on the contrary, I’m quite ready to pick out certain sentences, certain characteristics of the book, to ingest them as discontinuous fragments. This is obviously not a good philological attitude, since it comes down to deforming the book for my own purposes. ❞
Roland Barthes



❝ Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know,
Are a substantial world, both pure and good:
Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood,
Our pastime and our happiness will grow. ❞
William Wordsworth - Personal Talk (fragment)
