National Book Lovers Day

Today is a great day to celebrate your love for books, because it is National Book Lovers Day. In my world, that is every day, but I suppose a specific day to celebrate is good for people who aren't quite as devoted as I am.

These are some of my new favorite reading and book related quotes:

"I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book!" - Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“When you sell a man a book you don't sell him just 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life.” - Christopher Morley

“A man is known by the books he reads.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

“It is not true we have only one life to love, if we can read, we can live as many lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.” - S.I. Hayakawa

“Your library is your portrait.” - Holbrook Jackson

“Wear the old coat and buy the new book.” - Austin Phelps

Do you want to know more about my love of books?

-Once Upon A Time There Were Books - where I explain how much I love everything about books, even the smell.
-So You Read the Last 10 Pages of the Book - where I share results of an informal pole about book reading, and vent about a crazy radio personality who doesn't read the last 10 pages of books.
-Thirteen Books I Can Not Pass By Without Picking Them Up - where I share some of my favorite books, and make bookstore employees nervous by taking pictures of myself holding books all over the bookstore.

What is your favorite book (as if someone can have just one)?
