( ) I have been collecting quotes on books my entire life. I enjoyed this one except it didn't have my favourite of all time. Now I have to go and dig out the quote from my personal list. The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull and dry; The books that we would like to read, we are ashamed to buy. The books that people talk about, we never can recall; And the books that people give us, well, they are the worst of all. This is another of my little favorites. It is a quotation of books about books and reading. From quotes about libraries to quotes about publishing and collectors, it features a nice selection. Feel free to read it through, or just browse here and there. For me, it is a book I pick up every so often and browse again and again. If you like books and stuff about books, this is a nice little book to have. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
