There are too many books I haven't read, too many places I haven't seen, too many memories I haven't kept long enough.
There are too many books I haven’t read, too many places I haven’t seen, too many memories I haven’t kept long enough.
One drink is too many for me and a thousand not enough.
I have a very big apartment in Paris but you can't really move around there anymore; piles of books everywhere. I don't want any more books. I have too many books; sometimes I have to buy another copy of a book that I know I have somewhere in my house or office because I can't find it.
I feel lucky that I read so many books as a kid because I know that no matter how much I appreciate a book now, and I can love a book very much, it's never going to be that childhood passion for a book.

Look at a book. A book is the right size to be a book. They're solar-powered. If you drop them, they keep on being a book. You can find your place in microseconds. Books are really good at being books, and no matter what happens, books will survive.
So many (too many) books are published every year, and it seems everyone is writing a book. Perhaps we should all be reading more and writing less!
Many years, I would publish four books - an anthology, a book of criticism, a new book of poems, a book of essays.
I can't imagine a home without an overflow of books. The point of books is to have way too many but to always feel you never have enough, or the right one at the right moment, but then sometimes to find you'd longed to fall asleep reading the Aspern Papers, and there it is.
