Quotes by Laura Taylor Namey (?)

“I've never considered any book, especially a novel or work of literature, something you should 'plow through.' The whole point of reading is savor ing the story, immersing your self in a whole new place. Maybe one that doesn't even exist.”
― Laura Taylor Namey, The Library of Lost Things

“Thing is, when you put something back together it’s never exactly the same as it was before.”

“Holding a real book is like holding something alive. There’s the grit of the pages between your fingers as you turn them. The edges get soft and worn. With a real book, you feel the weight of the story more.”
