A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it or offer your own version in return.

When a reader falls in love with a book, it leaves its essence inside him, like radioactive fallout in an arable field, and after that there are certain crops that will no longer grow in him, while other, stranger, more fantastic growths may occasionally be produced."[Books vs. Goons, L.A. Times, April 24, 2005]

A book is not completed till it's read.

The value of art lies in the love it engenders, not the hatred. It's love that makes books last. Please keep reading.

I grew up kissing books and bread.
