“When you open a book...anything can happen.” This was so. A book of fiction was a bomb. It was a land mine you wanted to go off. You wanted it to blow your whole day...Books swept me away, one after the other, this way and that; I made endless vows according to their lights, for I believed them...Whole stacks at the library held books devoted to things you knew nothing about. The boundary of knowledge receded, as you poked about in books
