“Some people think opening a book is a simple thing. It’s not. Most people don’t realise that you can get truly lost in a book. You can. Especially you”
“One of the paradoxes of writing is that when you write non-fiction everyone tries to prove that it’s wrong, and when you publish fiction, everyone tries to see the truth in it”
“Somewhere in the world there is a magical book. What does this book do? It simply changes itself to become the book you most need at this point in your life”
“I now believe that there are books with magic and without. And I much prefer them with, thank you very much.” Scarlett Thomas on Dragon’s Green
