I hope you have a book like this, a book that makes you feel sane when other forces conspire to loosen your bearings, a book that values what you value, a book that makes you laugh and nod and gives you comfort. If you think that books don’t have the power to confer validation upon their readers, then I’m afraid we’ve had very different experiences. Because although of course validation comes from a dozen other places in my life, books have their own way of reaching those hard to scratch places right in the middle of my soul (sometimes when I don’t even know that there’s a place in need of a scratch) in a way few other things can. They are intensely personal in this way, these books, and one that speaks to me with power and clarity might sound tinny and distant to you. This exclusivity is one of the reasons they’re so powerful: it sometimes feels as though they were written with us in mind.

“Settling down with a good book”

One of the most spectacularly pretentious, bullshit phrases in the English language. Nobody “settles down” with a good book. When you find a good book, a book you REALLY get into, the last thing you do is find a nice quiet spot to read in, with a cup of some ridiculously named herbal tea that everyone pretends doesn’t taste like shit, in hopes of enjoying this great piece of verbal artistry more.

No.

That book will be read absolutely fucking anywhere. On the tube, in the bog, on a noisy, overcrowded bus during rush hour while you try to ignore the horrible smell coming from the grotesque man who’s been pressed into your side by the crowds. And this will come to a head you’re hunkered over in bed at 4am, with your alarm set for two hours from now; eyes red and blinking rapidly, tears leaking out of their corners from sleep deprivation. Because you simply don’t give a shit. You just want to find out what happens next.

Of all man’s instruments, the most wondrous, no doubt, is the book. The other instruments are extensions of his body. The microscope, the telescope, are extensions of his sight; the telephone is the extension of his voice; then we have the plow and the sword, extensions of the arm. But the book is something else altogether: the book is an extension of memory and imagination.
