"Book-love, I say again, lasts throughout life, it never flags or fails, but, like Beauty itself, is a joy forever."

Reading has always been my home, my sustenance, my great invincible companion. "Book love," Trollope called it. "It will make your hours pleasant to you as long as you live." Yet of all the many things in which we recognize some universal comfort...reading seems to be the one in which the comfort is most undersung.
