"I grew up in a house with lots of books and parents always reading. I remember being fascinated by the very look of books, and I remember what an impression my paternal grandparents' home had on me when we visited when I was four years old, five, six, seven, walking in the front door of their English Tudor into a chestnut paneled reception hall lined with leaded glass-doored Gothic bookcases, full of books. In the presence of these books, one was filled with awe, as if walking into a cathedral."
