• Siempre me han gustado los libros. Me apasionan. Creo que los libros son sexys. Son suaves y sólidos y contienen deliciosas sorpresas. Huelen bien. Caben en un bolso y se pueden llevar y abrir a voluntad. No cambian. Son lo que son y nada más. Un día quiero tener un montón de libros y que me los lleven a mi casa, para poder pasearme por mis estanterías y elegir lo que me apetezca. Quiero un harén. Guardaré mis favoritos junto a mi cama.
