Books for me are many things: they are friends, they are companions, they are mentors, they are warnings, they clown, they entertain, they hearten, and they make me stronger. But most of all books (I say again and again) are like the Thirty-Mile Woman from Toni Morrison's Beloved:
"She is a friend of my mind. She gather me, man.
The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order."

There is a simple rule: practice a kind of generous selfishness. Give a book to a friend, but don't lend it, because you will never get it back. (to a question, "Do you lend your books to friends?")
