on reading - salman rushdie

When a reader falls in love with a book, it leaves its essence
inside him, like radioactive fallout in an arable field, and after
that there are certain crops that will no longer grow in him,
while other, stranger, more fantastic growths may occasionally
be produced.

To understand just one life you have to swallow the world...
do you wonder, then, that I was a heavy child?
