I found today’s quote on the Reading Rockets website. You can go to their site HERE. The quote is by Jorge Luis Borges, an Argentinian Writer.
“I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library.”
— Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Luis Borges (24 August 1899 – 14 June 1986)

Thank you for stopping by! I checked our your blog and your books are written for readers older than me (I’m only ten) 🙂 but they look really spooky! Maybe one of the other bloggers that read my blog will take a look at your books!
Cool, thanks!
I read-part of- one of your stories and I thought it was good, but Erik’s right- something for older readers (I’m 12 by the way) and I have a feeling my mother wouldn’t approve considering she already thinks i read books that aren’t appropriate for me…
This is one of my favorite book quotes!
Glad you like it! 😉
Great quote! I thought of using it myself too. Who wouldn’t want a paradise of books?
I agree! 🙂
That is totally my idea of paradise! Along with unlimited time to read.
What a perfect quote, Erik!
And btw, I made that phone call to that local author we talked about. So she should be connecting with you at some point.
Thank you Ms.Fritz! I appreciate you making that phone call!
Love the quote! Would just like to add …. “with a dog beside you”. Thanks for visiting my blog, Erik. Yours looks very interesting ~ I’ll be exploring it in more depth.

Reblogged this on On My Mind and commented:
I saw this and just HAD to post it here! I, for one, agree with the quote; Do you?
Thank you for the re-post! I do completly agree with that!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. So, of course, I wanted to come to see yours. I think I did the other day. 🙂
I love the quote…and that would be paradise for me. But it makes me think of the old Twilight Zone episode with Burgess Meredith where the world ends and he is safe in the underground somewhere…with a huge library at his disposal…he was always trying to grab moments during work to read. And then…he breaks his glasses…and can’t see to read anything…now that was definitely hell for him.
Thank YOU for stopping by 🙂 I didn’t know what “The Twilight Zone” was – had to ask my mom 😉 That’s would be sad, I guess there’s always Braille!
