In Iceland people buy books as gifts and read quietly on Christmas eve
That is the tradition most suited to my taste, I believe
The consumerist culture around Christmas I need to forget
Use this holiday to explore new books and set
Reading goals for the following year
The more I dwell on it, the more attractive this idea appears..
*
In the ideal world, mostly books as gifts I would like to give and receive
I’d rather buy everything else for myself, but books I perceive
As ideas worth sharing, therefore I would appreciate
A book selected by someone else according to their taste

I would love to have a friend read a book that has influenced me profoundly
Bonding over the shared love for a book is one of life’s greatest pleasures for me
Next year for all my friends I shall carefully curate
Books with which we can mutually relate
Passion...unbridled
