A novel ensures that we can look before and after, take action at whatever pace we choose, read again and again, skip and go back. The story in a book is humble and serviceable, available, friendly, is not switched on and off but taken up and put down, lasts a lifetime. William Golding
一部小说保证我们可以前后看，以我们所选择的速度采取行动，一次又一次地读，跳过，然后回去。书中的故事是谦卑的，有用的，友好的，不是打开和关闭，而是拿起和放下，持续一生。威廉戈尔丁（谷歌翻译仅供参考）
