"Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read
it several times? As if something were left between the pages every
time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then when
you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself
there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had
preserved you like a pressed flower...both strange and familiar."
I LOVE this quote. It describes so well how I feel about reading the books I love! Even though it may not be my favorite book series, I love how much the main characters' lives revolve around books. They collect, preserve, repair, and read books over and over! It makes me happy, and a little jealous of these fictional characters...

I am reading Inkheart right now. Actually I am listening to the audio version and it is a little more enjoyable with the audio. I am really liking it, but I can't say I envy these characters at the moment, lol.
ReplyDeleteAlright, I'll admit it; I'm a total nerd. I LOVE finding out what other books people like and I go buy them and read them and (usually) end up loving them!
ReplyDeleteSorry I can't stay and chat, I'm headed to Amazon now to see what kind of deals I can get on "Inkdragon"...
Comment on your blog cool. And truthfully, I didn't even read the post. HA HA HA.
