Reading can provide comfort and companionship. On the occasion of World Book and Copyright Day, here are quotes by famous authors
Books are your perfect companion wherever you go. It is said that readers never feel alone and very rightly so. World Book and Copyright Day is celebrated every year on April 23 to promote the enjoyment of books and reading. As book readers across the world are on decline and consumption of digital content is on an all-time rise, one should not forget the numerous benefits of reading. It is not only an exercise for brain, a stress buster but also improves one's concentration and ability to focus.
The theme for World Book and Copyright Day for April 23, 2023 (Sunday), is Indigenous Languages which need to be preserved. April 23 as chosen as the date to hold World Book and Copyright day every year since 1995 as on this date, several prominent authors like William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega died. The idea was to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone to access books.
