“In my own experience, it is often the brief, simple, original books that turn out to be the most useful. The books I have on my special shelf—books for personal, lifelong use—are all brief and untraditionally structured. They are almost all illustrated, and they have considerable blank space on a page. These are not sources of information but books for meditation. A book is virtual space that invites contemplation and perusal. In this space one tarries and looks around, absorbing the atmosphere, and then leaves, the author hopes, happy to have visited.”
