READ, READ, READ.


 

 
 

        My dad worked in Alfonso XII library, Seville’s most important library when I was a child. I spent infinite hours among its corridors and shelves. I still remember myself looking for an specific title in the file cabinets. I cannot avoid thinking how things have changed.

            Apart from this, I am the youngest of 7 siblings who love reading, so I could say I have grown up among books, magazines, newspapers, encyclopedias, etc.

         There is something in common when people read; we are captivated by our reads. We all rest for a while in a wonderful, amazing, collective world which belongs to everyone and no one, and that is what people from pictures may feel. They all are seemed connected. I cannot imagine another similar connecting situation except music.

        Getting back to the library where I played in my childhood and that is related to the pictures 1 and 4, I have to say I used to read everything that fell into my hands in my mother tongue, I must confess I have devoured 90’s fashion magazines as well.

        At school, I loved those English graded reading series about mystery, terror and adventures that my English teacher recommended us.

       Nowadays, I am more selective when choosing a book and I read less than I used to. Thrillers and history are my favourite although I also enjoy essays and philosophy books. Last February I was given an e book for my birthday but I have not used it yet. I like paper, touching the pages, the smell, I may be a melancholic, and although I recognize the advantages of electronic books , I think reading paper books connects with emotional areas which take me back to my childhood and this is a powerful reason to keep on being analog.
