Read to your hearts desire..
Above the entrance to St Gallen Abbey Library, one of the oldest of its kind, is a Greek inscription which translates into English as "pharmacy of the soul".
The monks who founded the library considered books as medicine for the spirit. The 150,000 strong collection, now part of a Unesco World Heritage site, continues to inspire visitors and scholars today.
How did that chicken get in there? The Ladybird children's book 'The Little Red Hen' I could have understood.

This is a wonderful collection of books, I love books and can't imagine a world without reading. Pharmacy for the soul is so true.
ReplyDeletegreat image, and it shows an eternal dilemma (well at least in this household) - never enough space on the bookshelves :)
ReplyDeleteAh Bob, it likes to read!
ReplyDeleteJa sind das jetzt Deine Bücher? Da würde ich gerne mal darin schmökern *lächel*. Habe auch noch einen guten Kalenderspruch dazu gefunden:
ReplyDelete"Ein Buch lesen - für mich ist das das Erforschen eines Universums. Marguerite Duras
Ich wünsche Dir einen guten Tag
liebe Grüsse
