'A good book is an event in my life.'

- Stendhal, The Red and the Black

It’s okay if you don’t feel sparkly today. It's cool if you're not feeling it. Step back for a bit. There’s just one problem.

Alberto Manguel

Looking ahead, we're going back to the Moon with NASA Artemis!

'He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.'

Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
