"The best stories are worth the risk of finding out the ending, you know? And sometimes, they're just a beginning to the next story." Pepper Basham, Jane by the Book
Those are the best.
"A vacation book doesn't need to have anything to do with where you are; it can be a destination in itself." Sarah Lyall
Most avid readers experience that all the time. Books can take us everywhere in the world and everywhere in time.
"Books, too, had hearts, though they were not the same as people’s, and a book’s heart could be broken: she had seen it happen before. Grimoires that refused to open, their voices gone silent, or whose ink faded and bled across the pages like tears." Margaret Rogerson, Sorcery of Thorns
Of course, books have hearts. And souls. Otherwise they couldn't move us so much.

I like the Lyall quote. So true. Reading is Travelling without Moving.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Kitten. We can travel the whole world and probably learn more about the countries than anyone who books a holiday in a "resort".
DeleteThat Margaret Rogerson quote is so good it makes me want to go and read the book.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, Lark, I hadn't even googled the book, but I just did and it looks like a fantasy book which is not my genre at all. Still, I'm sure it's a great book after the quote we were given. Let me know when you read it.
