"... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report, we seek after these things"- 13th Article of Faith

     What makes a book worth reading? 
Bradbury puts it poetically in a conservation between Faber and Montag in his work Fahrenheit 451 when Faber explains what quality is,

"To me it means texture. This book has pores. It has features. This book can go under the microscope. You'd find life under the glass, streaming past in infinite profusion. The more pore, the more truthfully recorded details of life per square inch you can get on a sheet of paper, the more 'literary' you are."

     So if a book is then worth reading, worth pondering over, then to me it is worth sharing. That is what this blog is all about, to put books under a microscope and find virtue, find truth, find life and share it.
