Reader XXV

by José Manuel Solares · Madrid, ES

Reader XXV "A good book is a book one regrets finishing" Charles Dickens When a book is really good it becomes a journey that captivates us, transports us to other worlds and presents us with characters with whom we feel connected. The idea of regretting finishing a book suggests that the story has been so immersive and meaningful that, when we get to the last page, we feel a kind of loss. It's like saying goodbye to a dear friend; We've shared moments, emotions, and learnings, and the thought of that connection ending can be painful. A good book not only entertains us, but also leaves us thinking, makes us question ourselves and often transforms us in some way. Dickens invites us to look for those readings that touch our hearts and make us wish they would never end.
