They Resemble Us

Of all the inanimate objects, of all men’s creations, books are the nearest to us for they contain our very thoughts, our ambitions, our indignations, our illusions, our fidelity to the truth, and our persistent leanings to error.  But most of all they resemble us in their precious hold on life.

This is primarily a book review site by an avid (and joyous) omnivore reader.  Her tastes are quite varied and the writing is interesting (and fun) even if I don’t feel particularly interested in most of the books being reviewed.   Well worth a visit!   —    kmab]
