A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. It is a wrong to his family. Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it. And the love of knowledge, in a young mind, is almost always a warrant against the inferior excitement of passions and vices.

MORE SCHOOL MEMORIES!!
I still remember the VICTORIA ROAD RAP from Hotline... Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Michael Vince and his book worked as a kind of Messiah and a Bible even during my Teaching training college period.
These two books from the Meridian Plus series were my last books at sesondary school. I remember the "Cooking with Carol" reading!!!!!

MORE SCHOOL MEMORIES
These were my first English books. PROJECT 1 was my first book at secondary school. At those times, English was not a subject at primary but only at secondary (at least in state schools) and we attended it only from 2nd year onwards. This cover is from the workbook, the student's book had a rocket, a space shuttle or something of the sort on its cover.
When I started attending an English course at an institute, my first book was BLUEPRINT 1. It was amazing for me! I loved it and I still keep it in my bookshelf as well as PROJECT 1.
SCHOOL MEMORIES
Surfing the web I've found a pic of the cover of my first school book!! "Mi amigo Gregorio" by Editorial Estrada. It was lovely! and it brought such nice memories to my mind...
