In this elegant but pocketable edition, passionate bibliophile Michael
Ross has curated 114 favorite literary quotes from the collection of
over 1,500 well-read books on his shelves--but this isn't your typical
rehashing of Bartlett's quotations. Michael Ross brings together the
ways in which we view reality and the ways in which our own thoughts and
contemplation shape that reality from such a new perspective, even the
authors themselves will probably find this book useful and insightful.
Featuring quotations from John Fowles, Richard Russo, Paul Auster, Don
DeLillo, Philip Roth, Ivan Doig, Jim Harrison, Gunter Grass, Milan
Kundera, Eleanor Catton, Kurt Vonnegut, Robert Penn Warren, John
Steinbeck, Oscar Wilde, Lorrie Moore, Walker Percy, and many, many,
more.
