Wars have been fought over them,.. Lives have been led according to them...
Rules have been made from them..
Clubs have argued about them...
Movies have been made from them...
Nights have been spent with them....
Days have been shared with them...
Fantasies have been woven from them....
Ideas have been created from them....
Friendships have been made due to them..
Fairs have been organized for them..
Libraries have been built for them...
Art has been inspired from them...
Money has been spent on them....
and Time should be devoted to them.....
If you walk into an apartment in Paris, and don't see at least one whole wall full of books, then you probably aren't visiting a french person. French people love books. You will find them for sale everywhere...dedicated stores, big and little, the secret "passages" around town, on corners, in the park off of park benches...you will find books for sale. I don't think I have ever visited any french person's home where I haven't been awed by their book collection. But not only do they collect them, but they read them. They are reading all the time..on the bus, in the metro, at the cafés, on the park benches....Even my 9-year-old student discusses french authors with me like we used to discuss rock stars in days of old... And although I, too, am a reader, its more than that here ....it is a way of sharing life.. partager et discuter un livre avec moi?
