This blog has the aim to promote both literature and philosophy in the hope that others, like you, dear reader, will be tempted to soon take a book in your hand, open it and read it!
My name is Ruben, and I like playing chess, watching movies and reading books. And since I do read them, why not write something about them?
Reading has a multitude of purposes: for some, it is important because you can enreach your vocabulary, for others, it helps you build imagination, and fore many, it means that you are speaking with the dead (yes, very morbid, indeed!). But for me it means two other things that are very practical in day to day life:
First, by reading you become more aware and self-aware. It is important to have an idea of where you are and who you are. Know thyself is a fundamental aspect of one`s life.
Second, it helps with your power of comprehension. Reading is easy, but understanding is not particulary so easy. By reading from now and then, you can train your level of understanding both the world and yourself.
Thank you for visiting and I hope I can reach to you!
