Met this lovely reader in London, St James's Park.
“Orwell was definitely a genius, but perhaps not a very good man. He regarded women as some commodities. But I am reading it for a third time, so I must have liked it. I often reread instead of reading something new”.
Good luck with your photography!

“I started it yesterday and already made a good progress. I studied science... so, I guess, it’s a classical education that I never had.”

“I am rereading it, it is one of the books that offers a lot to take in. It helps in my work - I am teaching difficult kids. One of the good tips is to use a personal incentive for people, rather than telling them to do stuff. For example, showing the kids that Maths can help them to succeed in life”.
A reader from London.

“It is a book on how much around us is a fiction. Take a stock market, for example... Or even instagram - people construct their identities there. You don’t know what to trust anymore. Can you rely on anything at all?”

"Yes, I like the book - I feel really drawn in. It’s like I am inside the character. It is about an actor who moves back into his old family house and starts seeing some apparitions. It feels like past is haunting him".

Judging books by their cover much?
Have you ever judged a book by its cover? I bet you have. Join me in this adventure of trying to determine what the book is going to be about - or, basically, blatantly drawing on stereotypes and preconceived ideas. It is going to be fun.
Updates will be on wordpress.
Also, on instagram.

I always feel a bit ashamed to interrupt people when they are reading, especially if it’s a book on solitude.
“I like the idea of being able to share rather than having a need for someone”.

So, I saw this reader eating an apple next to Eve, beautiful and frightened Eve. I must say, it is a very special place for reading - the glass pavilion brings into mind the Crystal Palace of London, where the Great Exhibition of 1851 was held.
“It is a very controversial subject right now.”

Found these readers in one of the most beautiful places in Malaga, Spain.
“Distractions and background noise helps to concentrate. It’s much nicer to read outside”.

I saw these lovely readers in sunny Malaga in a park, under the beautiful tropical trees. It was a perfect atmosphere for reading.
“It is a nice relaxing spot. The sunshine makes a difference, we don’t get much of it.”
