“As a discriminating reader,
I value style nearly as much as substance
and nothing frustrates me more than a poorly written book.
In the margins of several books in my library I have written,
‘Lots of words but no music.’ I want to read books that sing.
I want to feel, to laugh or cry, or even throw the book across
the room in a fit of temper. In short, I want the books I read
to move me in the deep places of my life.”
