This year, the Argentinean capital Buenos Aires is also known as the 2011 World Book Capital! They have created a "Babel Tower", built with 30,000 books and rising to 80-feet!

This event, reminds us how a simple object, like a book, can be enriching and shared by everyone all around the world, no matter their culture or religion.

So this weekend, take a breath, read a book, or go to a National Park or out into our natural environment to enjoy simple and quiet time.

And, why not practise some freecycling by exchanging your books between friends?

Simple pleasures for free, isn't it a good deal?
