THE BOOKSHELF PROJECT

The Bookshelf Project  is a great blog and I am glad I had my bookshelf posted on the Malena's blog. You can see my bookshelf click Here .
The Bookshelf Project é um blog excelente e eu fiquei muito contente por ter tido fotos de minhas estantes publicadas no blog da Malena. Você pode ver as fotos das minhas estantes clicando Aqui.

Malena wrote: "The Bookshelf Project celebrates books and our intimate relationship with them. Bookshelves are often much more than a storage space. They are shrines that give us constant stability where ever and whatever life throws at us. They are our personal and collective link with past. The Bookshelf Project intends to integrate photographs of private and personal bookshelves into a visual and spiritual Library that belongs to all of us. My aim is to capture a period of time that might soon be extinct. We might be the last generation to know books in their current shape and form. Our bookshelves represent our beliefs and mirror our feelings about the world in which we live. The photographs I’ve already received reassured me that I am on the right track and that together we can build a virtual library of our lives that will bring little pleasures to us that we can revisit again and again. I am hoping that the Bookshelf Project will eventually become a printed book, filled with loving words and photographs made by book lovers and connoisseurs."

Quotes I like:

"The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you the knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination." - Elizabeth Hardwick , US writer (1916 -2007 )

"Some books are undeservedly forgotten; none are undeservedly remembered." W. H. Auden - US (English-born) critic & poet (1907-1973)

“If there's a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it” - Toni Morrison - American Writer, Teacher and Editor. (1931- )

“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted. You should live several lives while reading it.” - William Styron - American Writer and Novelist - (1925-2006)
