The Book Club ....
During the last week of May 2012 I was wandering around "Parque Garcia Sanabria" in Santa Cruz, Tenerife when I discovered the week long book fair held there. Here I am three years later discovering a week long book fair taking place in the pedestrian area of the Bul. Slivnista. It seemed very appropriate as the news had been filled with the announcement that Finland, or was it Sweden?, was to give up the teaching of writing in schools and, at the same time, the smart phone was overtaking all other devices both as a means of communication and of entertainment. Despite using my 'Kindle' as a matter of convenience I still love the look, feel and experience of the printed word.
