Quote: Carlos Ruiz Zafón

"Bea says that the art of reading is slowly dying, that it's an intimate ritual, that a book is a mirror that offers us only what we already carry inside us, that when we read, we do it with all our heart and mind, and great readers are becoming more scarce by the day."
~Carlos Ruiz Zafón

The Shadow of the Wind was probably the best book I read last year. I wish I'd had a copy then so I could have made notes of passages while earreading it. Guess I'll just have to re-read it now that I have a hard copy. It's packed full of great quotes like this and I wanted to be sure to make note of this one.

Whoohoo! People just don't believe me when I say it's such a good book. I'm so glad you agree :-)

I am impatiently awaiting his other book to be translated, because I don't know any more Spanish than what I learned on Sesame Street.
