Excerpt from Confessions of a Book-Lover
TO get the best out Of books, I am convinced that you must begin to love these perennial friends very early in life It is the only way to know all their curves, all those little shadows of ex pression and small lights. There is a glamour which you never see if you begin to read with a serious intention late in life, when questions of technique and grammar and mere words begin to seem too important.
