Quote by Laura McVeigh, Lenny

“He often liked to do this with a book – just flick through from start to finish, soaking up the pictures, catching the rhythm of the words, the sense of direction for where a story was headed – but he didn’t like to look too closely at the words, and he never raced ahead and read the last page.”

“There had been no noise from any other part of the apartment, but that didn’t exclude the possibility of Paolo’s presence, especially if she had given her soul over to reading. He sometimes told her that Attila could storm through the house and she’d not notice if she were reading. She had most recently disputed this by claiming that it would depend on the book. Her door was open, so he went in. And found her on the sofa, with Henry James.”

“Reading and eating are natural companions, and they’ve got a lot in common. Reading is consumption. Eating is consumption. Both are comforting, nourishing, restorative, relaxing, and mostly enjoyable. They can energize you or put you to sleep. Heavy books and heavy meals both require a period of intense digestion. Just as reading great novels can transport you to another time and place, meals—good and bad ones alike—can conjure scenes very far away.”
