“I believe there is an ethic of reading, a responsibility in how we read, a commitment that is both political and private in the act of turning the pages and following the lines. And I believe that sometimes, beyond the author’s intentions and beyond the reader’s hopes, a book can make us better and wiser.”
– Alberto Manguel, Argentine-born Canadian essayist, novelist, anthologist, editor, and translator, Into the Looking-Glass Wood, 1998
