“The library in summer is the most wonderful thing because there you get
books on any subject and read them each for only as long as they hold
your interest, abandoning any that don't, halfway or a quarter of the
way through if you like, and store up all that knowledge in the happy
corners of your mind for your own self and not to show off how much you
know or spit it back at your teacher on a test paper.”
