Books are a source of food. Books are a source of food for the soul. Each soul searches for a different food. Mine is looking for truth, wisdom, and the teaching about virtues. My favorite books are the educational books and the catholic spiritual books. For some days, a book is like a trustworthy person that tells me something good and it looks and listens to my reactions when I read it. I love to be alone with it for a moment of the day. I read them to learn something good from someone good. I do it at the waiting times in public places and at the free times at my home. I select them by their name, then I read the introduction or a paragraph to see if I like it. I valuate the sincere and simple words used by the author and his purpose to explain the truth. There are some books that I never imagined that they existed and it was possible to write them. After reading each page, I go deeper into the message. Their words have a special flavor that delights my soul. I feel a sweet flavor to know something good that I didn't know and I reread the message several times to savor and understand what I just knew. Sometimes I give voice and tone to some sentences. I imagine all the work of the authors to write a book. Hours and hours of study and meditation, compacted in a pack of paper sheets. I love the way the authors link the ideas and the thoughts that get out of the hiding places of their heart. Their quotes remain etched in my mind to use them when I need them. What a joy when in the books you find what you needed, but sometimes you didn't know that you needed it, because you didn't know it. You would like to share the book and to tell other people what you discovered it and felt with it, so that they don't lose more time to discover it, although sometimes it's better to discover the books by oneself. Sometimes it's as if someone would know that you need to read those books and he put them in your way in the order that you needed. After reading a book, I try to meditate on what I read and practice the good that I learned.
