Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul... - Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

"Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens."
