“ Any book is my kind of book that I can read with delight. ”
In an established love of reading there is a policy of insurance guaranteeing certain happiness till death.
~ A. Edward Newton
The buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching toward infinity...
Who was it who said, I hold the buying of more books than one can peradventure read, as nothing less than the soul's reaching towards infinity; which is the only thing that raises us above the beasts that perish? Whoever it was, I agree with him.
My depth of purse is not so greatNor yet my bibliophilic greed,That merely buying doth elate:The books I buy I like to read:Still e'en when dawdling in a mead,Beneath a cloudless summer sky,By bank of Thames, or Tyne, or Tweed,The books I read — I like to buy.
