Quote

One of the most constant and sustaining truths of my life has been this: I love the library.

Whenever I have a few hours to dive into a book, I am happy.

Why buy a book when you can join a library.

A book is a book is a book.

People - me included - want to get excited about books. Good books are a good thing.

I have this book club, and we don't read one book; we offer up a few suggestions and create a library over time.

I remember the first book I bought, when I was about 11... Dad said, 'What have you got that for? What are libraries for?'

A book can be wonderful and powerful and accessible and artful all at the same time.

I have a real soft spot in my heart for librarians and people who care about books.

I'm really a library man, or second-hand book man.
