Book of all books, massive thing I can hardly lift, every though lies in you, all human possibilities. Everything I feel, every thing that can be felt, lies waiting to be described in combinations of the words you contain.

…he fakes being well-read by thumbing through the first and last chapters of any book he hears about and obsessively devouring reviews in lieu of the real thing.
