Quote of the day
“When a reader falls in love with a book, it leaves its essence inside him, like radioactive fallout in an arable field, and after that there are certain crops that will no longer grow in him, while other, stranger, more fantastic growths may occasionally be produced."
[Books vs. Goons, L.A. Times, April 24, 2005]”
― Salman Rushdie
