“...he made it a rule never to touch a book by any author who had not been dead at least 30 years. "That's the only kind of book I can trust," he said. "It's not that I don't believe in contemporary literature," he added, "but I don't want to waste valuable time reading any book that has not had the baptism of time. Life is too short.”

“– Como Nakata no sabe leer, es la primera vez que entra en una biblioteca—explicó Nakata. –Pues yo, aunque sepa leer, también es la primera vez que entro. Y no es que me enorgullezca de ello—dijo el joven Hoshino. —A mí me parece un lugar muy entretenido. —¿Ah, sí? Pues me alegro. —En el distrito de Nakano también hay una biblioteca. A partir de ahora iré de vez en cuando. Lo principal es que no hay que pagar entrada. Nakata no sabía que también podían entrar las personas que no supieran leer ni escribir.”

“A deserted library in the morning – there’s something about it that really gets to me. All possible words and ideas are there, resting peacefully. I want to do what I can to preserve this place, keep it neat and tidy. Sometimes I come to a halt and gaze at all the books on the stacks, reach out and touch the spines of a few.”
