John John said: " Feels like the ultimate self-indulgent vanity project that winds up as a near incoherent screed.

Charles Dickens
“There are a good many books, are there not, my boy?” said Mr. Brownlow, observing the curiosity with which Oliver surveyed the shelves that reached from the floor to the ceiling.

“A great number, sir,” replied Oliver; “I never saw so many.”

“You shall read them if you behave well,” said the old gentleman kindly; “and you will like that, better than looking at the outsides, - that is, in some cases, because there are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts.”
Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist

Harold Bloom
