On Books, Authors, and the Quoted Word
I read a lot. If I don’t have something to read, I get all twitchy and antsy and generally feel like the world has gone wrong. But, on the other hand, I don’t rely on any particular books very much to give me the facts of life.
Books, those lovely houses of paper and ink, are (to bookworms like me) doorways to entire worlds where we are free to delve in deep, live intensely without embarrassment, and expand our inner, secret selves.
But authors are something else entirely.
