The Human Province | Elias Canetti

There are books, that one has for twenty years without reading, that one always keeps at hand, that one takes along...and perhaps one leafs through them while removing them from a trunk; yet one carefully refrains from reading even a complete sentence. Then after twenty years, there comes a moment when suddenly, as though under a high compulsion, one cannot help taking in such a book from beginning to end, at one sitting: it is like a revelation.
