“Reading books has always been, and it still is to me, as important as breathing”. Donald Tusk, President of the European Council

Reading books has always been, and it still is to me, as important as breathing. That’s why I have always found the question: Why do you read? really strange. Because people read in order to live. Ever since I read The Iliad by Homer, as a young boy, I’ve always loved stories. Telling stories in an interesting way; this is what we look for in literature. And I found it in the Bible, in Herodotus, de Montaigne, Flaubert and in Llosa. And this is why Knausgård seems so interesting to me. Simply put: Lego ergo sum.
