New Books Quotes - Page 5

• All morning I struggled with the sensation of stray wisps of one world seeping through the cracks of another. Do you know the feeling when you start reading a new book before the membrane of the last one has had time to close behind you? You leave the previous book with ideas and themes -- characters even -- caught in the fibers of your clothes, and when you open the new book, they are still with you.

• Me encanta ver las librerías y conocer a los libreros... los libreros son realmente una raza especial. Nadie en su sano juicio trabajaría en una librería por el sueldo, y nadie en su sano juicio querría tener una: el margen de beneficio es demasiado pequeño. Tiene que ser el amor a los lectores y a la lectura lo que les hace hacerlo, además de ser los primeros en tener acceso a los libros nuevos.

• I doubt if I shall ever have time to read the book again -- there are too many new ones coming out all the time which I want to read. Yet an old book has something for me which no new book can ever have -- for at every reading the memories and atmosphere of other readings come back and I am reading old years as well as an old book.

• Rebecca was an academic star. Her new book was on the phenomenon of word casings, a term she'd invented for words that no longer had meaning outside quotation marks. English was full of these empty words--"friend" and "real" and "story" and "change"--words that had been shucked of their meanings and reduced to husks. Some, like "identity" and "search" and "cloud," had clearly been drained of life by their Web usage. With others, the reasons were more complex; how had "American" become an ironic term? How had "democracy" come to be used in an arch, mocking way?

• A bran' new book is a beautiful thing, all promise and fresh pages, the neatly squared spine, the brisk sense of a journey beginning. But a well-worn book also has its pleasures, the soft caress and give of the paper's edges, the comfort, like an old shawl, of an oft-read story.

• Every new book I read comes to be a part of that overall and unitary book that is the sum of my readings...if you need little to set the imagination going, I require even less: the promise of reading is enough.

• The difficulty will be to keep her from learning too fast and too much. She is always sitting with her little nose burrowing into books. She doesn't read them, Miss Minchin; she gobbles them up as if she were a little wolf instead of a little girl. She is always starving for new books to gobble, and she wants grown-up books--great, big, fat ones--French and German as well as English--history and biography and poets, and all sorts of things. Drag her away from her books when she reads too much.

• Raven-haired writer Emer Martin is giving a lunchtime reading from her fabulous new novel, Baby Zero. Emer Martin is a brilliant writer, very much the real deal. She tells me that every single Irish review of her new book has made passing reference to Cecelia Ahern. Weird, given that Emer is to chick-lit what Shane MacGowan is to sobriety.

• Sometimes, looking at the many books I have at home, I feel I shall die before I come to the end of them, yet I cannot resist the temptation of buying new books. Whenever I walk into a bookstore and find a book on one of my hobbies — for example, Old English or Old Norse poetry — I say to myself, “What a pity I can’t buy that book, for I already have a copy at home.

• Por supuesto, están los críticos -los de New York, por regla general- que dicen: "Bueno, Maya Angelou ha sacado un nuevo libro y por supuesto que es bueno, pero además es una escritora nata".

• Descubrí a John Truby hace diez años, cuando un amigo me habló de su curso de guión. Estudié los principios de Truby durante un año y, con ellos, escribí el primer borrador de Los ladrones de Ostia en dos semanas. Vuelvo a sus enseñanzas antes de cada nuevo libro que escribo. Cada vez que estudio a Truby, aprendo algo nuevo.

• El primer paso para liquidar a un pueblo es borrar su memoria. Destruir sus libros, su cultura, su historia. Luego, que alguien escriba nuevos libros, fabrique una nueva cultura, invente una nueva historia. En poco tiempo esa nación empezará a olvidar lo que es y lo que fue... La lucha del hombre contra el poder es la lucha de la memoria contra el olvido.
