I liked to keep them in my mouth till the dust had melted and then I would place them on another tray. Once I had licked the dust out of all bonbons. I think this defines part of my attitude towards books, for it is impossible to read all the good books, but I try to at least get their essense, the feel. Someone once said, that "some people write a book to help other people write one sentence". I think one can enjoy some books simply by having them, by holding them, by reading the dust jacket and a few pages.
