"What absurd victims of contrary desires we are! If a man is settled in one place he yearns to wander; when he wanders he yearns to have a home. And yet how bestial is content — all the great things in life are done by discontented people."

This book is a gem! If you like books about books, adorable love stories, adventure stories starring middle-aged women, and all around great prose, READ THIS BOOK. And then read the "sequel," The Haunted Bookshop.
