We read amid winds and rains.
We read in the days of happiness and sorrows.
Reading empowers us to go through bumpy road ahead.
A gale does not blow the whole morning, nor does a downpour last the whole day. In stormy times, we read. On sunny days, we read. We read, in company and in solitude. In reading we explore the authors’ inner world, and open up our own.
