"What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it." -J.D. Salinger
"To sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before you, and hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations--
such is a pleasure beyond compare." -Kenko Yoshida, essayist (1283-1352)
