Lovable Things → The smell of old books

(via literatureismyutopia)

Of course I loved books more than people.

One must be drenched in words, literally soaked in them, to have the right ones form themselves into the proper pattern at the right moment.

Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won’t have as much censorship because we won’t have as much fear.

We couldn’t agree more. Except for Breaking Bad, maybe.

I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.

Richard Wright

Absolutely fantastic article. Only 50% (!!!) of American adults have read any novel, short story, poem or play in the past year. When/where did our love of bookmobiles, read-a-thons, and Scholastic Book Fairs go so horribly wrong? (via cracked.com)

This.

(via literatureismyutopia)

I care not how humble your bookshelf may be, nor how lowly the room which it adorns. Close the door of that room behind you, shut off with it all the cares of the outer world, plunge back into the soothing company of the great dead, and then you are through the magic portal into that fair land whither worry and vexation can follow you no more. You have left all that is vulgar and all that is sordid behind you. There stand your noble, silent comrades, waiting in their ranks. Pass your eye down their files. Choose your man. And then you have but to hold up your hand to him and away you go together into dreamland”.

Arthur Conan Doyle, Through the Magic Door (1908)
