Title : The Joy of Reading - The Pleasures of Reading - book
Few objects awaken, like the book, the feeling of absolute ownership. Fallen into our hands, books become our slaves - slaves, yes, because they are living matter, but slaves that no one would dream of freeing, because they are dead leaves. As such, they undergo the worst treatment, fruits of the wildest loves or dreadful furies. And let me dog-ear the pages for you (oh! what a pain, every time, this vision of the dog-eared page! “but it’s to know where I am!”) and let me place my cup of coffee on the cover, these halos, these toast marks, these suntan oil stains... Daniel Pennac Emma Bovary, Marcel Proust, Julien Sorel, Nathalie Sarraute, Guy Montag... Writers and great fictional characters share here their relationships with reading and books. Fragments of novels, autobiographies, essays, these texts represent from various angles the joy of reading.
