Last week there was this interesting opinion piece in the SundayReview of The New York Times, Scribbling in the Margins. The writer, Andrew D. Scrimgeour argued that readers writing in their books is the greatest tribute to authors.

Here is something that irks me: book cover quotes. They are superfluous and more often than not end up getting a rise out of me instead of selling me my next read.

When it comes to my bookshelf, I separate my books according to language and whether they’re fiction or non-fiction.

There are some elements in books that are so important to me, they form the foundation of whether or not I enjoy reading a particular book.

Some of my most treasured memories involve books. Childhood memories tend to be long forgotten by the time we become adults but those that have shaped us in ways nothing else could have are the ones that will continue to remain with us.
