Book Giving Day

February 14th is not just valentine’s day; it is also an International Book Giving Day. This day is celebrated every year by giving away books that one enjoyed to read, which may benefit someone somewhere. One can donate some new or gently used books to the local library, to a local school, civic group, or to a local hospital. Regular reading will help one to improve focus and concentration; enhances imagination; reduces stress; improves memory power and lot more. Reading is fun, pure and simple.

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