“Books are portable companions. But so are midgets.”
“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
“The book “Little Women,” what, is that about midgets? I freaking love midgets.”
“My girlfriend just bought me a portable toaster. And my birthday’s coming up, so I’m half expecting her to buy me a portable bathtub to go along with it.”
“Before bed I do a bit of light reading. I’m reading a 50-pound book on midgets.”
“These books are my friends, my companions.”
