“like the contents of a desk, a library tells you about the person.
There are books passed down on in the family. Thats who they were.
Then there are books they think they should have. Thats who they want to be.
There are the books they want you to see. Thats who they want you to think they are.
There are books they want to believe they like, and then the books they really like, the dirty little secrets.
If they're old and dusty enough, that tells you all you need to know about that persons mind.
Everything was there if you only troubled to look.”
