      图书描述

      One of the rules in our Seattle home is that my family

      never throws away books. Magazines and ne)vspapers [after

      I ve clipped the articles that interest me) will wind up in

      the wastebasket--but never books, because parting with

      them seems too much like losing an old friend or casting

      aside an experience we might someday want to enter again.

      From the time I was able to hold one in my hands--pic-

      ture books or comic books, with the covers winged open

      upon my knees books always struck me as being one of

      this world s special experiences. Today we have video

      games, VCRs, and more than fifty channels to choose from

      on television. But coming as I did from a pious Illinois

      church family, I imagine that back in the 1950s some of the

      respect that my elders had for the Bible [the book~ rubbed

      off on any volume that fell into my hands. No, it didn t

      matter what the book was about. For me, holding its hefti-

      ness in my hands, underlining certain parts, and arguing

      with the author in the margins (yes, I still do that} meant

      that I possessed the key to knowledge, to realms of the

      imagination I could find nowhere else. And remember: dur-

      ing slavery days some states in America made it illegal for

      black boys and girls to read. With that in mind, the pages

      beneath my fingers felt like power or contraband. The very

      act of reading itself was subversive and liberating. Whatever

      the book s subject, 1 always knew that as I turned the pages

      1 had that rarest of human privileges: a front-row seat as the

      best thinkers and storytellers of all ages and cultures pre-

      sented me--me! with their most carefully crafted

      thoughts and feelings.

      ~ Of course, not throwing away books can lead to prob-

      lems. Like, where do we put them? Four rooms in our

      house, just remodeled to hold even more books, have ceil-
