Books are the gateway to a completely different world. They manage to keep us immersed in new stories and people, to empathize with their situation and life. And they are always a topic of conversation. Because the best books spread by word of mouth when we tell each other about them because their actions have stuck with us.
Guido Maria Kretschmer loves to read in his free time, as he tells us in an interview. And he would also recommend it to each of us: “Reading can also do something for you and make you feel good”, Guido encourages those who have so far been less interested in books to get into reading. For example, literature also helps him to lift his spirits on gray winter days and to get through difficult times: “When you read beautiful literature that has something to do with a sociable now – when the world is still in order”, you can do something wonderful with it.
Every one of us who has never been able to put a book down knows that literature can captivate us so much that we forget our everyday life for a moment. And sometimes we grow so fond of the protagonists that we even dive into their emotional world. These little escapes, in turn, can help us refuel for life. Fictional characters become our friends, real ones grow closer to us, we learn about their history and what made them the people they are today. Either way, a win for us – and our understanding for each other.
If you’re now wondering where to start – don’t worry, Guido Maria Kretschmer has a few tips ready for you from his private bookcase. We always present the latest works here that have just impressed the designer and which he now wants to recommend to us.
