(sorry for the multiple posts if i'm in your blog list, but i keep finding great posts about books today and i just have to add them.
If there's a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. ~Toni Morrison
A book is like a garden carried in the pocket. ~Chinese Proverb
My test of a good novel is dreading to begin the last chapter. ~Thomas Helm
You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend. ~Paul Sweeney
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. ~Mark Twain
after this posted, i found more book quotes at V. R. Barkowski's blog. and there's a great post about books on K. C. Woolf's blog (i think i'm having bookshelf envy). over at The Eagle's Aerial Perspective, she's posted some cool facts about books.

Great quotes! :-)
Oh, I love that first quote by Toni Morrison---it's exactly why I started writing. And I've often dreaded starting a last chapter.
Great theme for the challenge.
I love Thomas Helm's quote :)
Hi,
I'm with Toni Morrison and Paul Sweeney. If it's a really good book I hate having to put it down. If it's an older book I'll scour the Internet in search of a sequel. ;)

Quotes are a great idea! It's nice to meet you!
Great! I love quotes as well! I'm looking forward to Monday's entries, and will probably try to guess between now and then what your C word will be. ;-)
Great quotes. The first one was the reason why I started writing in the first place.
Great quotes, I especially like the one by Thomas Helm!
Found you from the A-Z Challenge, looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun, with maybe a little bit of stress thrown in!! I’m now following you on GFC and I hope you have a chance to check out my blog!

I love the Chinese proverb! :) And the Thomas Helm quote is definitely true.
Thanks for the shout-out!
Books are indeed a good topic for today. I do love books and hope to one day have a library room filled with them. (Another reason I'm not to keen on e-books yet.)
I loved Mark Twain's quote. He was an interesting man. :-)

Hey Michelle. Thank you so much for stopping by and following my blog.
I seriously love quotes. I love knowing more of other people's perspectives on books and writing. So I will definitely be stopping by more.
Great quotes. And I'm with Mark Twain on what constitutes an ideal life. Working on that sleepy conscience!
