On Reading, Writing and Living with Books | 
Hello Littens! I‘ve been writing a blog about books for 23 years, first at Blogspot and at Wordpress since 2005. I have recently spent some time revamping the site and adding new content. Take a look at http://itsallaboutthebook.org. In addition to reviews, I have 2 features on the site - Reader Profiles and Author Spotlights- and I am look for some new entries for both. If you‘re interested, let me know.

pickLegendary authors who were all members of The London Library and their thoughts on books and reading - Woolf, Dickens, Forster, and more. Quick read but lots to highlight!
"To admit authorities, however heavily furred and gowned, into our libraries and let them tell us how to read, what to read, what value to place upon what we read, is to destroy the spirit of freedom which is the breath of those sanctuaries. Everywhere else we may be bound by laws and conventions — there we have none." —Virginia Woolf
Hear, hear Virginia.
