A bookshelf is as particular to its owner as are his or her clothes; a personality is stamped on a library just as a shoe is shaped by the foot.
I love my books.
I spent more time at the library than anyone my age when I was a kid.
Books are like eggs -- best when fresh.
Behind every writer stands a very large bookshelf.
Dear and most respected bookcase! I welcome your existence, which has for over one hundred years been devoted to the radiant ideals of goodness and justice.
I love massive books: books so big, like bricks, you could drown yourself in a pool with them if you're not careful.
I have about 3,500 books, maybe more.
My house is filled with books, most of which I have read, some of which I intend to eventually get to. I'm always reading at least one work of fiction and one work of non-fiction simultaneously. Whatever mood I'm in, there's always a book nearby to suit it.
To read a paper book is another experience: you can do it on a ship, on the branch of a tree, on your bed, even if there is a blackout.
The bedroom in my apartment is far too small to hold a nightstand. There is, however, this bookshelf. Yes, I stow whatever I'm reading on the lower shelf, but more importantly, it's where I keep a collection of ghost books.
This morning I looked at the books on my shelves and thought that they have no knowledge of my existence. They come to life because I open them and turn their pages, and yet they don't know that I am their reader.
I read actual books. It's cool to read on a Kindle if that's what you want to do, but for me, I like having a bookshelf.
His eyes gravitated towards the wall-to-wall bookshelf at one end of the room. 'You folks like books, I see.
I regret all of my books.
On the bookshelf of life, God is a useful work of reference, always at hand but seldom consulted.
When I write, I'm still imagining a kid reading it on paper. I read e-books when I travel, but in general I still prefer holding an old-fashioned book in my hands. There's a special, tactile experience.
To start with, look at all the books.
Books are the heart of any home, and I spend hours going through books for design inspiration.
I love everything about books. I love the content, the way they look and even the lovely way they smell. I think a book collection says something about you as a person, and certainly my books are something I'd want to pass on for future generations.
In design-speak, 'a library' means a room lined with books, floor-to ceiling, but it all depends on the space you have. You may have a free-standing bookshelf of your favorite books if that's all you have room for.
I've always loved the physical book and remain committed to it.
I always have been and will remain someone who loves real, 3D, substantial books. And I don't believe that it's a wistful, nostalgic interest like vinyl collectors. It's not the same thing.
I like to think that when I fall, A rain-drop in Death's shoreless sea, This shelf of books along the wall, Beside my bed, will mourn for me.
I can look at my books with pleasure from a distance. Four feet is close enough.
