"Books are your friends. Friends that will not drink all your booze or leave you high and dry at a restaurant when they get an unexpected booty call just as the appetizers are being served. They will not neglect to tell you the blouse you just bought because it was on sale and you loved it had a bloody great snag in the lower back that you didn’t see and now you can’t return it. No, books are good friends who will sit quietly on your shelves, gathering dust and not even complain about your vile housekeeping skills. Books dole out their information in doses just large (or small) enough for your brain to handle. They revel in your need to have them around; they exist to enable. Some don’t even mind living in the washroom, which is saying something."
