Joyce Carol Oates
“Reading is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily,often helplessly, into another's skin, another's voice, another's soul"-- Joyce Carole Oates”
Joyce Carole Oates

Kahlil Gibran
“Pity the nation that is full of beliefs and empty of religion.
Pity the nation that wears a cloth it does not weave
and eats a bread it does not harvest.

Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero,
and that deems the glittering conqueror bountiful.

Pity a nation that despises a passion in its dream,
yet submits in its awakening.

Pity the nation that raises not its voice
save when it walks in a funeral,
boasts not except among its ruins,
and will rebel not save when its neck is laid
between the sword and the block.

Pity the nation whose statesman is a fox,
whose philosopher is a juggler,
and whose art is the art of patching and mimicking

Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpeting,
and farewells him with hooting,
only to welcome another with trumpeting again.

Pity the nation whose sages are dumb with years
and whose strongmen are yet in the cradle.

Pity the nation divided into fragments,
each fragment deeming itself a nation.”
Kahlil Gibran, The Garden of The Prophet

Mat Johnson
“…life is too short to be reading more books by white people. Especially dead ones.”
Mat Johnson, Pym

فاروق جويدة
“ولو خيرت في وطن

لقلت هواك أوطاني

ولو أنساك يا عمري

حنايا القلب.. تنساني

إذا ما ضعت في درب

ففي عينيك.. عنواني”
فاروق جويدة, في عينيك عنواني

Irvin D. Yalom
“To build children you must first be built yourself. Otherwise, you’ll seek children out of animal needs, or loneliness, or to patch the holes in yourself. Your task as a parent is to produce not another self, another Josef, but something higher. It’s to produce a creator.”
Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept: A Novel Of Obsession

لماذا تؤسس مجموعة قراءة؟ ١- لأن قراءة الكتاب مع مجموعة متنوعة يجعلك وكأنك تقرأ الكتاب الواحد ست أو سبع مرات بدل أن تقرأه مرة واحدة. ٢- لأن النقاش حو ...more
