Amos Oz Quotes

I Could Imagine His Sorrow. My Father Had A Sensual Relationship With His Books. He Loved Feeling Them, Stroking Them, Sniffing Them. He Took A Physical Pleasure In Books: He Could Not Stop Himself, He Had To Reach Out And Touch Them, Even Other People's Books. And Books Then Really Were Sexier Than Books Today: They Were Good To Sniff And Stroke And Fondle.

And There Were Other Books That Were Bound In Cloth-covered Cardboard, Stuck With A Glue That Had A Wonderful Smell. Every Book Had Its Own Private, Provocative Scent. Sometimes The Cloth Came Away From The Cardboard, Like A Saucy Skirt, And It Was Hard To Resist The Temptation To Peep Into The Dark Space Between Body And Clothing And Sniff Those Dizzying Smells. Father Would Generally Return
