Foliate: A modern eBook viewer for Linux

Never miss a book with Foliate

The poet Ansi el-Hajj says in his poem "The Messenger with her long hair until the springs"
I swear to continue to desire to be a book open to your hands
I swear whenever I find my heart between the lines, to chant: I found you! I found you!.

I think it's surprising to find a woman who makes you think of reading as sacred, and for reading to be more holy you will need a good Book viewer like Foliate
