Hear what people are saying about Unpacking My Library...
"If my experience may serve as evidence, a man is more likely to return
a borrowed book upon occasion than to read it...Suffice it to quote the answer which
Anatole France gave to a philistine who admired his library and then finished with the
standard question, 'And you have read all these books, Monsieur France?' 'Not one-tenth
of them. I don't suppose you use your Sevres china every day?'" -Walter Benjamin, deceased
"This nation needs more thieves and less librarians." -John Fahey, deceased
