A book is what gets me off: something with heft to it, that you can take in two hands and spread like a woman. Mnyum!

Un bon livre est un événement pour moi.

I was with book, as a woman is with child.

What on earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book, and a cup of coffee?

Books are my friends, my companions. They make me laugh and cry and find meaning in life.

I'll read my books and I'll drink coffee and I'll listen to music and I'll bolt the door.

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

Just give me a comfortable couch, a dog, a good book, and a woman. Then if you can get the dog to go somewhere and read the book, I might have a little fun.

A good book is an event in my life.

All I really want to do is go to the book store , drink coffee and read

Reading a book should not be a passive exercise, but rather a raucous conversation

A book is not only a friend, it makes friends for you. When you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on you are enriched threefold.

There are readers—and I am one of them—whose reading is rather like a series of intoxications. We fall in love with a book; it is our book, we feel, for life; we shall not need another. We cram-throat our friends with it in the cruellest fashion; make it a Gospel, which we preach in a spirit of propaganda and indignation, putting a woe on the world for a neglect of which last week we were equally guilty.

It's strange because sometimes, I read a book, and I think I am the people in the book.
