Andrea’s Quotes

“I’ve learned to stop treating books as commodities, to temper my greed in this land of abundance and to resist the performative bulk consumption of books that happens online. My reading is a personal matter, not a trinket to display. Sometimes, I don’t read at all. But mostly, I read just enough to take it back out with me into the world.”
― Katherine May
