MORE BOOKS THAT HEAL

“I think part of my love for life

I owe it to my love for books.”

ADOLFO BIOY CASARES

A few weeks ago, I shared a first list of books that I think that are well worth reading. It contained a bit of everything: short or long essay, short or long novel, poetry.

Let’s complete this list, at the request of many of you that wrote to me with a desire to continue reading.

Here you are more words that heal. May you be touched and feel as much as they have made me feel and think.

Today also is a day to pay tribute to the printed word: Happy Saint George and happy book day!

Hugs,

Álex  Rovira
