Alain De BottonOne kind of good book should leave you asking: how did the author know that about me?
About This Quote
A good book speaks to us at a deep level. It may be an account of someone else’s life, but the author has known you. He has seen you at your best and your worst, and he has made himself available to you in your darkest moments. He has given you advice for your daily life, he has taught you valuable lessons that you can apply to your own experience, and he has given you hope, or faith, or inspiration for the future.
