"We believe that the object themselves are sacred, not just the stories they tell. We believe that books posses the power to transubtantiate, to turn darkness into light, to make being out of nothingness. We do not want the experience of reading to be stripped of this transcendent componant and become rote and mechanical. That would spoil everything." - One for the Books - Joe Queenan
I have relished reading Joe Queenan's work for years, since he wrote for Movieline ages ago. This book comes out in October. If you love to read, love books, buy this one. Its pleasures are various and many.
