Robert Duffer; My life in books and other cliches:
Gratefully, there’s no escaping my books. No matter how many times I’ve moved them, reorganized them, winnowed them or threw them across the room, each time is its own experience, distinct from the last. It’s like what Kundera says in The Unbearable Lightness of Being: “We can never know what to want, because, living only one life, we can neither compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come.” So it goes for organizing my books. I’m a different person, so my books look different.
