“Your mail could’ve waited.” Daemon followed me into the kitchen. “What is it? Just books?”
Grabbing the OJ from the fridge, I sighed. People who didn’t heart books didn’t understand.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Onyx
Armentrout’s novel where this quote is taken from is a thrilling ride through a world of romance, intrigue, and a healthy dose of bibliophilia. In the particular scene, the protagonist finds herself faced with the age-old question of why books matter so much to her, and her response is nothing short of priceless.
But beyond the witty banter lies a deeper truth – Armentrout taps into the essence of what it means to be a book lover in today’s world. It’s quite easy to be distracted these days and it isn’t rare for reading to be seen as a solitary pursuit. Amidst it all, Armentrout’s words remind us that our love for books is more than just a hobby – it’s a vital part of who we are. Books aren’t just stories bound between covers; they’re portals to new worlds, windows into the human experience, and companions on our journey through life.
How about you? What do you think? Do you agree with this quote? I’m looking forward to knowing your thoughts.
