"A novel is never anything but a philosophy expressed in images. And in a good novel the philosophy has disappeared into the images." Albert Camus
"The libraries have become my candy store." Juliana Kimball

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. It was you go brought that idea to me with your post about NZ books for children.
DeleteMany greetings from the other side of the world.
Yes to Juliana Kimball!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's interesting to imagine it that way, right?
DeleteMy favourite is the one by Albert Camus, I also love him as an author.
I don't agree with Gracie Allen at all. I like to read a book from page one to the end without skipping even a page forward until I've read the previous one.
