Find YOUR Book!

As I am watching the news on tv, the Romanian news...this ad campaign keeps repeating in my mind. Images of my favorite book-characters are rolling over and over in my mind, as I am watching the disaster in the Romanian Education System...

It is sad, it is unbelievable! I won't get too much into the subject (if you are not Romanian: many Romanian high-school graduates weren't able to promote a basic exam, mandatory at the end of school. Something like the SAT, but way easier!!!). That is was I agree with Gandhi's Bookstore! Books are absolutely necessary in our development, because there one can learn priceless life-lessons!
How would the stories in classic fairytales and works of fiction have turned out if the protagonist read one of these suggested books? Would Alice have actually enjoyed staying in Wonderland? Would Little Red Riding Hood have empathized with the wolf? Hard to say.
