"It's interesting that people who are otherwise live-and-let-live are really quick to tell people how they should feel about books!"
"Books are physical objects that hold not just the written contents, but the experience of holding the book itself. That is why Marie Kondo's tapping of the book to "wake it up" is so interesting to me."
“Marie Kondo’s metric is to suggest that you find your own metric.”
“Tidying the books in my home opened up my awareness of new types of books to explore.”
