" I don’t spend enough time in libraries. There’s something about a library. The smell of books, the quiet, the feel of paper, the rustle of pages, the slide of a drawer full of file cards, the aisles between the stacks. I don’t know what it is, but libraries, especially old libraries, make me feel better. Maybe it’s being surrounded by the accumulated knowledge of centuries. Maybe they’re solid, tangible evidence mankind has some inclination toward civilization. Whatever it is, it comforts me. "
