You know that moment when you’re reading a book and you just have to stop and bite your lip and squeal or sigh or close your eyes and wrinkle your nose and forehead and press the book against your heart and just like sit there and try to soak up the gorgeous literature via osmosis?
That’s my favorite part of reading.

San Juan, May 29 (Prensa Latina) - Dozens of people demanded the release of Puerto Rican political prisoner Oscar Lopez Rivera, who turns begins his 31st year in jail in the U.S. for fighting for the independence of Puerto Rico.
The demand for the release of Lopez Rivera, whom the government believes led the extinct National Liberation Armed Forces (FALN) of Puerto Rico in Chicago and New York, occurred at the Capitol, headquarters of the Legislative Assembly, in the entry of the so-called Old San Juan.
In this way protesters joined the demand of various political, social and religious sectors demanding the release of one of the oldest political prisoners in the dungeons of the northern nation.
The protesters wore shirts with the claim of Freedom for Oscar Lopez Rivera that has now become the slogan of fighting for his release.
Lopez Rivera, 69 years old, was charged and convicted of seditious conspiracy, a legal concept that the state does not have to prove and is aimed at those conpiring to overthrow the government legitimately constituted.
He stressed that, as Pedro Albizu Campos, Lolita Lebron and Rafael Cancel Miranda, Puerto Rican nationalist martyrs and heroes who paid their daring of fighting for the independence of Puerto Rico with years in prison, Lopez Rivera has given his life to his country.
