I guess there are never enough books.
I still love books. Nothing a computer can do can compare to a book. You can't really put a book on the Internet. Three companies have offered to put books by me on the Net, and I said, 'If you can make something that has a nice jacket, nice paper with that nice smell, then we'll talk.' All the computer can give you is a manuscript. People don't want to read manuscripts. They want to read books. Books smell good. They look good. You can press it to your bosom. You can carry it in your pocket.

I love books. I like that the moment you open one and sink into it you can escape from the world, into a story that's way more interesting that yours will ever be.
I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us.
In books I have traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own.
Books are a narcotic.
There's nothing wrong with reading a book you love over and over. When you do, the words get inside you, become a part of you, in a way that words in a book you've read only once can't.
Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries.
A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.
It was good to walk into a library again; it smelled like home.
A book is a gift you can open again and again.
How can you tell? That I like books, I mean. The look on your face when you walked in, somehow I doubted you were that impressed by me.
Honestly, I hate when in books, the guys changes the girl's life. Like, no. The girl needs to change her own life.
Ah, how good it is to be among people who are reading.
