This entry was a pleasant surprise. I was just going through some of my 'old' books and said to my husband, " It's amazing how words upon paper can almost put the universe into your hands." Books are my most valuable possession.
Love the quotes you used, especially " A good novel tells the truth about its hero' but a bad novel tells us the truth about the author." Thanks, Vince. *Barb*

Hi vince,
I agree with you 100% being that I am a book worm. I love to read and I enjoy reading all types of books, topics and I do have my share of collections of books. When I read a book I let my mind go into the world of the book I am reading and let my imagination be a character in the book. Thanks for sharing your view... Oh, and thanks for always visiting my journal and for you short but sweet words..Jessie
I love this entry, Vince. I am a book lover. I love reading about different subjects and topics. They are my best friends...there are no enemies in books. The quotes you used here are awesome. thanx, V...gloria
Not so sure I agree with Chesterton totally. I think every novel good or bad reveals something about the author. But that's just me. Loved the quotes though.
: )
I am a bibliophile! Love that word! Thank you for some wonderful quotes.
I like the last quote best. And these are the guidelines you are going by to write your novel? I was moving some of my books to my room today. I have quite a collection of John Grisham novels. He tells the best story. My only regret is not investing more money and time in the classics.
I love to re-read books just to see what I have gained through experience and what I see that I missed the first time. I read "War and Peace" in my twenties and I want to read it atain soon. The characters evlolve and grow so much. Hopefully so have I.
I like the Chesterson quote the best lol
There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love.

I can relate! :)

I have friends who not only love to read but re-read books. And I can never quite seem to do that. Not that I don't love alot of the books I read, I dunno. I think about it but never actually pick up the book again unless I'm looking for a specific quote. Not a very good bookworm am I? :-)
I really like this entry. I've recently taken up reading again. It's wonderful to have that quiet time in another world or with exciting new friends. I love it.
I loved these quotes - they're all so true! I read, "Wind in the Willows", as a child, and then again a few years ago... I still keep it on my bookshelf :) And of course, I'm always referring to "Max" in "Where the Wild Things Are" ;) (I think I am Max.... he he) I haven't been reading... I need to, I think... hmmmm. Be well, Vince... L, Jenn
I love the quote from Morley. Since I'm in a lifelong love affair with books I certainly identify with the sentiment!
Well, I finially found your journal and I am so glad I did. Thanks for reading mine and for the nice notes you leave it really keeps me encourged.
One of my fondest memories as a child is going to the book store and buying a book that would open my mind to some new and magical world.
I enjoyed reading your journal, I'LL be back : )

Wonderful quotes...books and reading are a joy and have aways been a great part of my life.
I also love to read many kinds of books. I am running out of space now for books so I just go to the library. I have not yet read the books you just mentioned, but I will look into it.
