donna tartt

[reveparisien]

Then there are the books we love so much that we read them every year or two, and know passages of them by heart; that cheer us when we are sick or sad and never fail to amuse us when we take them up at random; that we press on all our friends and acquaintances; and to which we return again and again with undimmed enthusiasm over the course of a lifetime.
- Donna Tartt, afterword to True Grit by Charles Portis



I thought it was so well said ! I couldn't agree more.
