Excerpt from The Seven Joys of Reading

The joy of surprise for us older ones lies not in new books, not in the discoveries and inventions and new theories that fill the modern page, to all these we are hardened, proof - nothing of that kind can surprise us; it lurks instead in the old book. We pick up a volume and hear Pliny talking about lecturers in old Rome.

Excerpt from The Seven Joys of Reading

We must all have noticed a certain change of late in the attitude of the librarian and the library assistant toward books. Whereas, the time was when books were regarded as things to be entered, catalogued, classified, shelf-listed, and then give out in as great numbers as possible to a more or less willing public, and the numbers reported with pride to the professional journals, it seems now to have occurred to the majority, as it had never failed to present itself to the minority, that books are also to be read, that, in fact, that is what they are for.
