The best friends to spend a rainy day with.

I had created this slightly unconventional space in my PBase pages, because I wanted to concentrate here two of my passions, photography and writing. Later I have enjoyed myself building up other personal spaces, relatively secluded, since there is not any large and well lit-up road leading there. I leave bread crumbles over side paths for the few ones who would consider amusing to find their way. It means that I keep on writing, of course, but I do it in a different place. I don't think what I have to say might be of any importance, but at least I have tried to make the place cosy, advertising-free and hopefully relaxing.
I write little stories about other peoples, I try to put my own thoughts together, I invent silent conversations with my two or three visitors and I share occasionally some inspiration I have found in good books.
It's because books remain my great passion in absolute think I could live without a camera (it would be sad, but I could), but it's unconceivable for me living without books.
Oscar Wilde once said that if one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all. I don’t think it could be said in any better way.
Books are my friends, my companions. They make me laugh and cry and find meaning in life.
If anyone would feel a little curiosity for the books I love and the novels I try to write, there is always the chance to click on the small pictures here, to be redirected to my two specific websites.
After this shameful self-promotion, I suppose it's better go back to the side of the scene and to find shelter in a comfortable armchair, with a side table covered with books, of course.

What would life be without books, empty and meaningless! V

Interesante. Muy bien captada la nostalgia de un día de lluvia. V

I could not live without books. I share your sentiments entirely. I see some familiar authors and titles in your collection above. Beautifully photographed still life, inviting and cosy. V

I also love to read! I'm about open to anything. I find when I have a book that is hard to read at home, I take it to work and tackle it during lunch. Because I know there I have nothing else to read, I'm more likely to give it a chance. I've gotten thru some good books at work, that I don't think I would have read at home. Silly tho it may seem, it works. And to me...sometimes there is nothing better than sitting down with a good book and relaxing.

The fascination of books, just right for winter months indoors and under a shady tree in summer!
Like the view of the chateau out of the window.

Very good, and I love that view out of your window to the old church.
