My family often asks why I always give a book along with other gifts at Christmas, birthdays and other gift giving holidays. I never felt like I answered the question well. Now I will tell them this: I give them because they are one of lifes great treasures. More than a gift of paper, ink, and binding, the present of a book spells a quick and satisfying escape, a door to an unknown world, the joy of solitude and, also in equal measure, the sweet sharing with like-minded readers. ~ Ana Veciana-Suarez (from her Miami Herald column dated 12/2/13)
