Book night in athens


Book night in Athens!

Tonight there’s a special event in Athens : Music, comic art performances, chats with Greek authors…

Entrance fees : One used book (or more) from our home

Why : To fight illiteracy and promote life long learning!

It is hard for me to be separated from any book – I love to keep them in my library, come back to them when I feel nostalgic, re-read them or just go through them, smell them, or simply stand in front of the bookshelves and look at them. My whole life is standing there – I have kept books from when I was very little, “Caps for sale” when I was 6 (!), “The sorrows of young Werther” from my 20’s, “Even cowgirls get the blues” around 30, Simon Singh’s “Code book” in my 40’s ….
However, the cause is great. All the books that will be collected will be donated to the women’s detention facilities in Elaiona, the children’s hospital of Athens, the Athens orphanage, the Athens nursing home.

So, lets do it!
