David T.W. McCordBooks fall open, you fall in
About This Quote
A book falls open. You fall in. This is a phrase used to describe how two completely different things are connected. The book falls open, then the reader falls into the book, which is another way of saying that one thing leads to another.
For example, you might be reading a book and suddenly realize that you are falling out of your chair. This expression comes from the idea that the reader is reading a book and he is falling asleep.
