“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies…” This line from George R.R. Martin’s, A Dance with Dragons, couldn’t be more true. Books can take us to new worlds, help us walk in someone else’s shoes. Every story is an adventure, whether we’re 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea or hitchhiking through the galaxy. Those who truly love literature can never get enough and one wonderful way to celebrate that is a festival of books! You’ll find one of the best right here in Morristown, New Jersey.

The Morristown Festival Of Books is now in its 5th year.
