AFRICA'S ONLINE READING & WRITING DIGEST CAMPAIGN

" ...The communication of our thoughts by means of language, whether spoken or written, like every other object of mental exertion, consitutes a peculiar art, which, like other arts, cannot be acquired in any perfection but by long continued practice." ... From the Introduction to Roget's International Online Thesaurus ! "Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body" -Sir Richard Steele.

"Imitation Is The Sincerest Form Of Flattery"

At Africa's online Reading & Writing Digest campaign , we voraciously collect & share inspiring stories & anecdotes from all over the Internet to spur our imagination & creativity! Join us "Bask in flattery like a sunflower" - Tennessee Williams Reading is good. Reading is important. Reading sparks creativity and a willingness to think in new directions. It keeps our brains from turning to mush and even helps us discover what we don’t know about ourselves. Reading is especially important for teens. Every book they read shapes their mindset and their future - we help them see how that is possible. In a time of overwhelming technology and mindless entertainment, we want to get books into the hands of young adults based on what they love and are passionate about, in the hope that they will become active readers and find sanctuary in the limitless stories and ideas found in literature - burningthroughpages.org

obama & read
"Much has been made of Mr. Obama’s eloquence — his ability to use words in his speeches to persuade and uplift and inspire. But his appreciation of the magic of language and his ardent love of reading have not only endowed him with a rare ability to communicate his ideas to millions of Americans while contextualizing complex ideas about race and religion, they have also shaped his sense of who he is and his apprehension of the world " - MICHIKO KAKUTANI
