Pamela Paul
“To whom do books belong? The books we read and the books we write are both ours and not ours. They're also theirs.”
Pamela Paul, My Life with Bob: Flawed Heroine Keeps Book of Books, Plot Ensues“Books gnaw at me from around the edges of my life, demanding more time and attention. I am always left hungry.”
Pamela Paul, My Life with Bob: Flawed Heroine Keeps Book of Books, Plot Ensues“All of us are writers reading other people's writing, turning pages or clicking to the next screen with pleasure and admiration. All of us absorb other people's words, feeling like we have gotten to know the authors personally in our own ways, even if just a tiny bit. True, we may also harbor jealousy or resentment, disbelief or disappointment. We may wish we had written those words ourselves or berate ourselves for knowing we never could or sigh with relief that we didn't, but thank goodness someone else has.”
