The Love for Books

Today I rode an elephant through Mumbai.

I felt the sun burning my neck while picking olives in Santorini.

I heard the sound of Bocelli while having dinner on Piazza Navona.

I’m removing my glasses, turning off the lights

and closing my book:

“One hundred stories from around the world.”

“I’ve fallen in love with literature.

I try to read for one or two hours every day.

I only have one life to live. But in books

I can live one thousand lives.”

(Rasht, Iran)
