“It felt good to sit alone in a small space and smoke and drink. I had always been good company for myself.”

“A menudo es más difícil deshacerse de un libro que obtenerlo. Se adhieren con un pacto de necesidad y olvido, tal si fueran testigos de un momento en nuestras vidas al que no regresaremos. Pero mientras permanezcan ahí, creemos sumarlos. He visto que muchos fechan el día, el mes y el año de la lectura; trazan un discreto calendario. Otros escriben su nombre en la primera página, antes de prestarlos, anotan en una agenda al destinatario y le añaden la fecha. He visto tomos sellados, como los de las bibliotecas públicas, o con una delicada tarjeta del propietario deslizada en su interior. Nadie quiere extraviar un libro. Preferimos perder un anillo, un reloj, el paraguas, que el libro cuyas páginas ya no leeremos pero conservan, en la sonoridad de su título, una antigua y tal vez perdida emoción.”

having been
born into this
strange life
we must accept
the wasted gamble of our
days
and take some satisfaction in
the pleasure of
leaving it all
behind.”
