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.
