Reading Craze
1-31, March 2016
No man is an island.
There are people of all walks of life in the island. Some write,
some race, demonstrate, dance, sit…
The island is not alone. Aloneness is the feeling of those who
cannot find another to resonate with amidst the labyrinth of
discourses.
The island is not lonely. Loneliness is the state of being for
those who cannot locate an anchor in the hustle and bustle
of intriguing sights and sounds.
Fortunately, there are books, still. In the days of not knowing
rain or shine, high or low, how about calming the bewildered
heart by retreating to the craze of reading on the island?
The Way of the University: Halt comes stillness. Stillness
comes tranquility. Tranquility comes peace of mind. Peace
of mind comes thoughtfulness. Thoughtfulness comes
inspiration.
On this March, let’s immerse in the world of books. Let them
be our home and our food. Allow them to enlighten and
befriend. Share, read, talk, turn, hear, watch…you name it for
the pages.
Let’s not care about how the world goes around. A new
horizon will come when the pages are turned. That, ICARE -
Reading Craze guarantees.
以書為鄉，以書為糧；以書省身，以書會友
2016 年 3 月 1 日至 3 月 31 日
沒有人是一座孤島。
島上住滿各式各樣的人。他們在島嶼寫作，他們在島嶼賽馬、示威、跳舞、靜坐……
島不孤單。孤單的是在眾說紛紜中找不到知音的人。
島不寂寞。寂寞的是在惑人聲色裡尋不著歸處的心。
幸好人間還有書。
在浮城陰晴不定，風向不明，心緒不寧的日子，不如退一步，我們在島嶼打書釘？
《大學》之道，知止而後有定，定而後能靜，靜而後能安，安而後能慮，慮而後能得。
三月，以書為鄉，以書為糧；以書省身，以書會友。我們漂書、讀書、說書、翻書、
聽書、看書、打書釘。
管它天高地厚、天旋地轉、天崩地裂，博群書節，書到盡時見新天。
博群書節
