“Reading – Rosa Boko says – makes us wonder, this is the first critical activity that we learn, or we must learn, because we are young. Because books, and writing others, put us in front of other worlds and necessarily raise questions in us. If we know how to follow them, if we know how to listen to them, reading first and foremost becomes a daily procedure for cash exercises. ”
