" what really knocks me out is a book. that, when you're all alone reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on to the phone whenever you felt like it"
-J.D Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
" from the on, matilda would visit the library only once a week in order to take out new books and return to old ones.
her own small bedroom now became her reading- room and there she would sit and read most afternoon, often with a mug of hot chocolate beside her.
She was not quite tall enough to reach things around the kitchen, but she kept a small box in the out house which she bought in and stood on in order to get whatever she wanted.
Mostly it was hot chocolate she made, wearing a milk in a sauce pan on the stove before mixing it.
Occasionally she made bovril of ovaltine. it was pleasant to take a hot drink up to her room and have it beside her as she sat in her silent room reading in the empty house in the afternoons.
The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives. She went on olden- day sailing ships with Joseph Condrad, she went to africa with Ernest Hemmingway and to India with Rudyard Kilpling. She traveled all over the world while while sitting in her little room in an English village " - Matilda, Road Dahl..
