Books

Well, books are probably my favorite thing in the world. Or one of my favorite things anyway. Like Erasmus says: "If I have a little money I buy books; and if any is left, I buy food and clothes.”

-Gilbert Highet

“A classic is a book which people praise and don't read.”

-Mark Twain

-Jan Morris
