I read to escape, says Nathalie Griesbeck, MEP

I read a lot: Novels, fairy tales, poetry, short stories, in the train, in the plane, in every, and often too rare, free time. I read to escape, says Ms Nathalie Griesbeck, Member of the European Parliament.

When I read, I’m surprised, I’m curious, I forget, I dream; when I read, I discover new worlds and universes; when I read, I observe as a witness and I step into heroes’ lives, men and women, from other places and times. All that from the force of narration, solely through the power of words which have penetrated, or will penetrate, the centuries and generations, added Ms Griesbeck.
