ig: herdrafts I’ve been reading so many ebooks during the lockdown that I’m almost get accustomed to them, despite I miss the feeling of printing papers under my fingertips. I often read in English because it appeal to me better but often I struggle when it comes to approach a book; regardless of genre, choosing what language you want to read, it has a great influence on the reading itself and perhaps on the outcome of the review. Translation sometimes can be better than the original version, maybe when you can’t enjoy the author’s writing you can read the same novel ‘touched’ by the translator work, but you can’t really understand the meaning of the prose or the difference of styles between an author to another, if you are interested in this aspect as well. In short, this was my ranting because often I can’t decide in what language to read.
Odd deep sea fish, abstract art, or brain activity maps?

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!”
- Martin Luther King Jr., delivered 28 August 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C.
