Books hold power!

They inform us, make us think... and question.

Reading has been shown to be good for health and wellbeing. It also improves academic performance, creativity, employability, and democratic participation.

Even so, literacy amongst adults is stagnating or declining in many European countries. Recent studies also show reading for pleasure is in decline.

So, what better day than World Book and Copyright Day to highlight some amazing European literature ➡️https://euprizeliterature.eu/

Well I see still a lot of people here in the Fedi timeline as well as people reading and writing fanfictions. I think mainly "just books" see this trend but not reading in general.

I'd even assume that a lot of people are reading more than ever before in human history.
