You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be -
I had a mother who read to me.
~Strickland Gillilan (Thanks, Laurel)

Book's Are......
Except
a living man there is nothing more wonderful than a book! A message to
us from the dead, - from human souls whom we never saw, who lived
perhaps thousands of miles away; and yet these, on those little sheets
of paper, speak to us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as
brothers. ~Charles Kingsley

Books Are....
delightful society. If you go into a room and find it full of books - even without taking them from the shelves they seem to speak to you, to bid you welcome.

Books Are....
This nice and subtle happiness of reading, this joy not chilled by age, this polite and unpunished vice, this selfish, serene life-long intoxication.

BOOK's ARE....
Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness.
