We live in the country, and I have a huge library there. When we go to London for the winter I never know which books to take. I never know what I am going to need. That's the only disadvantage.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I read a lot when I'm travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.
Why buy a book when you can join a library.
My books are very few, but then the world is before me - a library open to all - from which poverty of purse cannot exclude me - in which the meanest and most paltry volume is sure to furnish something to amuse, if not to instruct and improve.
I love e-books. I can carry the complete works of William Shakespeare around with me all the time. Just think about that. Whether I'm on an airplane or wherever. Being able to have a library in your back pocket basically is something I support.
My favorite books to give or get are short story collections. And always paperbacks because they are easy to carry as you travel.
London has fine museums, the British Library is one of the greatest library institutions in the world... It's got everything you want, really.
Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor substitute for life.
I don't like to travel. Yet all my books seem to involve a journey.
Whether I'm at the office, at home, or on the road, I always have a stack of books I'm looking forward to reading.
I am a member of the London Library, and on almost every single job I do, there is some benefit to be had in going there and pulling two or three books off the shelves.
