“Books have always been my escape – where I go to bury my nose, hone my senses, or play the emotional tourist in a world of my own choosing… Words are my best expressive tool, my favorite shield, my point of entry…When I was growing up, books took me away from my life to a solitary place that didn’t feel lonely.

They were all mine, private islands with secret passwords only the worthy could utter. If I could choose my favorite day, my favorite moment in some perfect dreamscape, I know exactly where I would be: stretched out in bed in the afternoon, knowing that the kids are taking a nap and I’ve got two more chapters left of some heartbreaking novel, the kind that messes you up for a week.” Jodie Foster (American Actress)
