There are books that one reads over and over again, books that become part of the furniture of one's mind and alter one's whole attitude to life, books that one dips into but never reads through, books that one reads at a single sitting and forgets a week later.

A parte mais legal do texto, pra mim, é essa: "It is difficult to establish any relationship between the price of books and the value one gets out of them."
É como ele disse na parte que tu colocou no post, tem livro que muda toda nossa atitude perante a vida. E não tem mastercard que te compre...

Helio: Sim, sim, tem livros que encontram uma maneira de imiscuirem-se em nosso cotidiano. Quanto ao cartão de crédito, coloco-me na categoria do "para todas as outras existe mastercard." ;]

Um abraço.

Janpiter: It really is a quite beatiful concept, and it really is good: finding our words in someone eles's writing; having ourselves looking back at us, unexpectedly. I pray you find that book, friend.
