Reading…

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something

- a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things -

that you’d thought special, particular to you.

And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you’ve never met,

maybe even someone long dead.

And it’s as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.”

— Hector in the film version of The History Boys

Here are some of the books I’m hoping reach out to me this summer:
