Art Lovers discussion

This folder is not necessarily art related

In messaging with one of the authors in the group, I came to the realization (maybe a little after-the-fact), that writing indeed can be an art in and of itself.

I feel this because I can't do it! So for those of you who do possess this ability to arrange words with eloquence and talent, you can post here.

This thread is for the authors in the group who would like to introduce their books. The books don't necessarily have to be writings about art.

To introduce your work, you can create your own thread with your name and title(s) of your work.

(Please refrain from discussing your book in other threads if it doesn't relate to art in some way--Thank You)

“A written word is the choicest of relics. It is something at once more intimate with us and more universal than any other work of art. It is the work of art nearest to life itself. It may be translated into every language, and not only be read but actually breathed from all human lips; -- not be represented on canvas or in marble only, but be carved out of the breath of life itself.”
― Henry David Thoreau

"Every reader, as he reads, is actually the reader of himself. The writer's work is only a kind of optical instrument he provides the readers so he can discern what he might never have seen in himself without this book"

Marcel Proust
