Sondag (23 April) is W\u00eareld-boekdag, en om dit te vier, het ons met iemand gesels wat al honderde boeke gelees het en vas glo \u2019n boek kan iemand se lewe verander. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rina Swart, die voorsitter van die U3A-Helderberg se Afrikaanse leeskring en in Strand woon, glo boeke maak \u2019n mens se kop oop vir ander sienings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit maak jou kop ook oop vir ander se menings en opvattings; dit neem jou na plekke en trek jou deur emosies. Jou w\u00eareld stop nie jou voor hek, straat, buurt of stad nie. Die aardbol word jou kuierplek wanneer jy lees,\u201d s\u00ea Swart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar fassinering met boeke het al voordat sy skool toe is, begin. \u201cMy pa het \u2019n digbundel van A.G. Visser gehad en vir my voorgelees. Ek was totaal verwonderd dat \u2019n mens jou gevoelens s\u00f3 kan uitdruk. Vakansietye het ek en my pa saam \u2019n boek gelees en beurte gemaak om te lees. Ek onthou ons het Vlug in die Namib<\/i> gelees. Destyds het \u2019n juffrou my toegelaat om die laerskool-biblioteek van voor tot agter deur te lees.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tans behoort Swart net aan die U3A-Helderberg se Afrikaanse leeskring, maar sy bieg sy het in \u2019n stadium aan meer as een boekklub behoort, maar dit het later vir haar soos \u2019n werk begin voel. Sy het boonop ook \u2019n besige sosiale lewe. Sy woon wel ander boekklubs se sessies by as hulle \u2019n interessante skrywer op die program het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy beskryf \u2019n suksesvolle skrywer as iemand wat kan \u201cverdwyn\u201d en toelaat dat die storie \u2019n leser insluk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swart s\u00ea dis baie belangrik vir die jonger geslag om self ook te begin lees. \u201cDis baie belangrik. Dit maak hul koppe oop en laat hulle besef die w\u00eareld draai nie om hulle nie. Dit help hulle ook om emosies deur te werk, en dis die beste geselskap vir \u2019n eensame kind of tiener,\u201d voeg sy by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy gaan self W\u00eareld-boekdag vier deur \u2019n boek te koop wat sy al lank begeer en sy wil op di\u00e9 dag ook kinderboeke by \u2019n plaaslike biblioteek gaan help herstel, want dis al hoe \u2019n jong leser \u2019n boekwurm kan word \u2013 deur self die biblioteek te besoek en te lees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBoeke is maklike vriende \u2013 hulle soek nie aandag nie; jy hoef hulle nie te bel nie; hulle eet en drink nie; jy kan hulle neersit vir dae, en as jy die boek optel, is alles reg. Daarbenewens ruik \u2019n nuwe boek ruik lekkerder as die duurste parfuum!\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
