my favourite book is "l'ombra del vento" de Carlos Ruis Zafon:biggrin2:
“This place is a mystery, Daniel, a sanctuary. Every book, every volume that you see possesses a spirit, the spirit of who has written it and the spirit of those who has read it, of who it has lived and of who it has dreammed thanks to it. Every time that a book changes owner, every time who a new look of it grazes the pages, its spirit acquires force. Many years ago, when my father carried me here for before the time, this place was already old, nearly like the city. Nobody knows with certainty from how much time exists or who has created it. You I can only repeat what my father said to me: when a library to scompare, when a bookcase closes the clappers, when a book gets lost in the oblivion, we, caretakers of this place, makes so that it arrives here. And here the books that more nobody remembers, the lost books in the time, always live in order, waiting for day in which they will be able to return in the hands of a new reader, of a new spirit. We sell them and we buy them, but in reality the books do not belong to us never. Everyone of these books has been the better friend than someone. Now they have only we, Daniel. Tasks of being able to maintain the secretâ€
i love it!!
