Γιατί τι θα ήταν τα βιβλία χωρίς φράσεις που σου μένουν στο μυαλό και σε κάνουν να σκέφτεσαι πράγματα που δεν είχες σκεφτεί, να βλέπεις από οπτικές γωνίες που δεν είχες φανταστεί, να απορείς, να νιώθεις δέος, πίκρα, χαρά, να χαμογελάς και να ονειρεύεσαι;

Μερικές από τις αγαπημένες μου που σταχυολόγησα ένα βράδυ χαζεύοντας, το ένα κλικ μετά το άλλο στο Goodreads, το Brainpickings και το Flavorwire 🙂
