A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors.

A book is a book is a book.
A book is always a dialogue with other readers and other books.
My books are, in a way, a record of my life - that part of it that came to flower and fruit in my mind.
A book is a journey: It's a thing you agree to go on with somebody, and I think every reader's experience of a book is going to be different.
To me, a book is a book. A novel is a novel, and you have hundreds of possibilities, options, and they may all be fine. Charles Dickens or Ingeborg Bachmann, Claude Simon or later writers. The one and only condition is that it has to be good: it has to have quality, substance, atmosphere.
Words are power. And a book is full of words. Be careful what power you get from it. But know that you do.
Books are our umbilical cord to life. They connect us deeply, and with more meaning, to the world. They aren't about escaping from ourselves but expanding ourselves and finding within us the tools we need to survive.
People are used to juggling multiple jobs and multiple responsibilities and multiple things on the home front, and sometimes you get a day off to read, and you just want a book that feels complete and that you can get through it on a rainy day on the couch.
A book is either autobiography or a novel.
A book is simply the container of an idea like a bottle; what is inside the book is what matters.
