“A clever terrible reader, sure, but a terrible reader nonetheless. I was always reading for something: first, for comfort, for pleasure, for validation, for comprehension; later, for symptoms, for ideas, for citation, for tenure. And always, secretly, for salvation.”
Sarah Chihaya, Bibliophobia

“I am convinced that it is every writer’s fear that our books will be the death of us. For me, for a long time, this fear was literal.”
Sarah Chihaya, Bibliophobia

“I wanted to wrap myself in it, to burrow inside it—not in the scholarly convolutions of the book’s plot but really inside the vibrant grain of its texture, the very fibers of its style.”
Sarah Chihaya, Bibliophobia
