THE PERFECT BOOK FOR YOU
Françoise Sagan
Bonjour, Tristesse
Françoise Sagan
Bonjour, Tristesse
“As humans grow older, they often develop skin discolorations. Old books do too. It’s called foxing. The name, first recorded in the middle of the nineteenth century, comes from the observations that it looked as if a fox with muddy paws had trampled across the page."
—Margaret Rosenberg and Bern Marcowitz
“Sometimes I think heaven must be one continuous unexhausted reading.”
—Virginia Woolf
“Knowing you have something good to read before bed is among the most pleasurable of sensations.”
—Vladimir Nabokov
