Happy Christmas from Virago
Posted by Felice Howden in Blog
To all our authors, readers, booksellers, librarians and friends – best wishes for a lovely break with LOTS of books and reading.
The last word of 2011 from us comes from some of Virago’s much missed authors:
“Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.”
- Angela Carter
“No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting. She will not want new fashions nor regret the loss of expensive diversions or variety of company if she can be amused with an author in her closet.”
- Lady Montagu
“The greatest gift is a passion for reading.”
- Elizabeth Hardwick
AND, finally, some good advice from PJ O’Rourke:
“Always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.”
