Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
Great Book! And I just love this passage especially:
"Now I realize that not infrequently books speak of books: it is if they spoke among themselves. In light of this reflection, the library seemed all the more disturbing to me. It was then the place of a long centuries-old murmuring, an imperceptible dialogue between one parchment and another, a living thing, a receptacle of powers not to be ruled by a human mind, a treasure of secrets emanated by many minds, surviving the death of those who had produced them or had been their conveyors."
Just a very quick thought. And now I am off to the library to get something else to read. Unfortunately they don't have two books I put on hold yet (The Big Sleep & Private Lives) so I am hoping I will find something I want to read there to keep me occupied until they get those in for me.
