About Mind & Trivia

A great novel is a kind of furniture — it takes up space in a room and in your mind long after the last page. Libraries have always been sanctuaries: the hush of high shelves, the faint cedar scent of old bindings, the comfort of a familiar author's name along a well-worn spine. From Austen to Steinbeck, the classic novel endures not because it was assigned, but because it keeps giving something new each time you return.
