About This Quote
The quote by J.K. Rowling, “Maybe Heaven will be a library and then I might get to finish my ‘to-read’ list,” speaks of how she wants to be buried with her book collection. Rowling’s favorite place is the New York Public Library at 42nd Street, where she has met many of her favorite authors. She loves that place for its quietness and beauty. She loved the way the New York Public Library was able to keep the memory of how people lived during different time periods alive through books instead of through paintings or other artifacts.
