'Fault' became the book everybody and their mother had to read, and 'Paper Towns' is one that's beloved, but it's a bit of a smaller book.
I had 'Push' and 'The Paperboy' next to my bed for many years. Those are some of the great, great novels.
Some books are so familiar that reading them is like being home again.
The books I read are the ones I knew and loved when I was a young man and to which I return as you do to old friends.
Don't talk about things you don't like. Talk about music that you love, books that you've read. I put a lot of recipes online.
Any book that can help you survive the slings and arrows of adolescence is a book to love for life; 'The Catcher in the Rye' did just that, and I still do love it.
One does not argue about The Wind in the Willows.
Was there ever yet anything written by mere man that was wished longer by its readers, excepting Don Quixote, Robinson Crusoe, and the Pilgrim's Progress?
Few and far between are the books you'll cherish, returning to them time and again, to revisit old friends, relive old happiness, and recapture the magic of that first read.
Books that children read but once are of scant service to them; those that have really helped to warm our imaginations and to train our faculties are the few old friends we know so well that they have become a portion of our thinking selves.
The audiobooks I buy are never first-time reads - only rereadings of books I know well that I find intoxicating.
Really, my sacred place is my study where there are books that I love and things that people have given me.
