The Shame of Book Abuse …
From The Guardian blog:
“ If you have a book, you have a purpose and a shield. This is fine to an extent, but usually belittling to the books you’re escaping into. When I’m abusing a book, I lapse into a kind of ravenous trance, reading too fast, remembering too little. When you can study a book review from start to finish without realising you’ve already read the novel in question, you can be pretty sure you’ve been perpetrating abuse. “
Judging a book by its cover
From the New York Times:
Most authors have no control over their book covers. Roth, Palahniuk and Murakami are exceptions to the rule.
