A note from the owner
I started Navarone Books in 2009 with the main goal of producing quality fiction and nonfiction for readers of all ages. I know that books change lives. It changed mine. When I was a child and my father introduced me to the public library, it was like being given the key to heaven! After that day, I spent many summer days inside with my nose buried in a book. I still ran around outside and climbed trees, but my outside world was shrouded with the rainbow of imagination where I lived out the adventures I'd read about in books.
Scientists have discovered that our limbic brain--the seat of our emotions--doesn't know the difference between real or imagined events. This is why we cry at sad movies even though nothing bad has happened to us. It is also why we can experience the healing release of endorphins by reading about real miracles, or by reading about the waves lapping outside a cottage in Nova Scotia. Books can literally make us fall in love and experience all the biological benefits that this emotion brings, including feeling fully alive. Reading produces physical changes in our brains and chemistry as our emotions are taken for a ride. If we are going for a ride, let's make it a good one!
Scientists have also discovered that people who read books are kinder human beings.
Reading, it seems, is a human necessity. So, let's keep reading. Let's not stop! Let's get serious about having fun!
