It's special, grandparents and grandchldren. So much simpler. Is it always so, I wonder? I think perhaps it is.

She either confused me with a much older child or else she glimpsed deep inside my soul and perceived a hole that needed filling. I've always chosen to believe the latter. After all, it's the librarian's one sworn purpose to bring books together with their one true reader.

All true readers have a book, a moment when real life is never going to be able to compete with fiction again.
Kate Morton
Image
My fingers positively itched to drift at length along their spines, to arrive at one whose lure I could not pass, to pluck it down, to inch it open, then to close my eyes and inhale the soul-sparking scent of old and literate dust.
