It had never occurred to Sophie that she would be forgiven so readily for her trespasses and she wasn't sure that she liked it. She had refused to visit her dangerously ill father in hospital because her career was more important to her, and the least he could do was judge her. You could get away with anything, it seemed, if you were on the telly.

He accused her of being bourgeois, whatever that was--it seemed to involve engagement rings and babies and all sorts of things she wasn't interested in. He got so heated about them that for a moment she thought he might actually be proposing, in an angry, cack-handed fashion.

Ma mentre trovavo loro una casa nella sezione "saggistica d'arte e letteratura" (personalmente trovo che agli scopi domestici il sistema di archiviazione Trivial Pursuit funzioni meglio del Dewey), d'un tratto ho avuto una piccola epifania: tutti i libri che possediamo, letti e no, sono l'espressione piu piena che abbiamo a disposizione della nostra personalita."

E comunque, leggere per diletto e una cosa che dovremmo fare tutti. Non intendo che tutti dovremmo leggere romanzi rosa o thriller (pero se e questo che volete leggere, per me va benissimo, perche...Ascoltate, vi confessero una cosa che nessuno vi dira mai: se non leggete i classici o il romanzo che ha vinto l'ultimo Booker Prize, non vi succedera niente di male; e soprattutto, se li leggete non vi succedera niente di straordinario); voglio..

I libri, ammettiamolo, sono meglio di qualunque altra cosa. Se organizzassimo un campionato di fantaboxe culturale, schierando sul ring i libri contro il meglio che qualunque altra forma d'arte abbia da offrire, sulla distanza di quindici riprese...be', i libri vincerebbero praticamente sempre.

It is not the act of reading itself that I miss, the opportunity to retreat further and further from the world until I have found some space, some air that isn't stale, that hasn't been breathed by my family a thousand times already. Janet's bedsit seemed enormous when I moved into it, enormous and quiet, but this book is so much bigger than that. And when I've finished it I'll start another one, and that might be even bigger, and then anot..

Se siete vecchi e felici, mi posso immaginare che magari leggete sotto i baffi leggendo quando dico; Mi ha spezzato il cuore. Ricorderete qualcuno che ha spezzato il cuore a voi, e penserete: Oh si, ricordo come ci si sente. Ma non e vero, vecchi gufi..
