About This Quote
This is a line used by the fictional character Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, who also used the phrase "quite contrary" in The Tales of Beedle the Bard. The concept here being that, basically, books are devoured in a literal sense rather than figuratively. This is a reference to Hermione's method of reading. She doesn't just read a book once through and then forget about it, she reads it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
