Excerpt from The Book-Lovers' Anthology Dr. Johnson, nearly a hundred years later, filled a niche of his own, irreverent though he was to books except for their message. The latter half of the eighteenth century is especially memorable, for it synchronized with the early years of Southey, Lamb, and Leigh Hunt, the very temples of the spirit which I have sought to enshrine in these pages, and of Hazlitt, and of two who should be dear to librarians, Crabbe and John Foster. I should like to claim an honoured place in the nineteenth century for Bulwer Lytton, who, although he understood 'the merits of a spotless shirt', understood books also and appreciated them thoroughly; and for the Brownings, especially the author of Aurora Leigh. Emerson is conspicuous, not only as a book-lover, but also as a professor of books, and as a missionary in the sense that Carlyle and Ruskin preached the gospel of books. Many others deserve honourable mention, but I must pass on to some of those who adorn the present day. It would have been very pleasant to have seen Lord Morley, Mr. Frederic Harrison, Mr. Austin Dobson, Mr. Edmund Gosse, Mr. Andrew Lang, and Mr. Augustine Birrell appearing in this cloud of witness, but happily they are alive to testify to the faith that is in them, and for that reason are beyond the scope of an anthology confined to authors who are dead.

This volume of over five hundred epigrams, poems, and longer musings in prose and verse from over two hundred writers from across the ages will delight and educate any book lover, transporting them into the company of the wisest and wittiest. How to choose a book: The three practical rules, then, which I have to offer, are, 1. Never read any book that is not a year old. 2. Never read any but famed books. 3. Never read any but what you like; or, in Shakespeare's phrase, No profit goes where is no pleasure ta'en: In brief, sir, study what you most affect. R. W. Emerson On the sometimes dubious value of reading: If I had read as much as other men, I should have been as ignorant as they. Thomas Hobbes Furthermore, do beware: Much reading is like much eating, wholly useless without digestion. Robert South On novels: The novel, in its best form, I regard as one of the most powerful engines of civilization ever invented . Sir J. Herschel. On buying versus reading books: If people bought no more books than they intended to read, and no more swords than they intended to use, the two worst trades in Europe would be a bookseller's and a sword-cutler's; but luckily for both they are reckoned genteel ornaments . Lord Chesterfield. Is there any such thing as a bad book? What makes a good author? Do bibliomaniacs actually read? Are book bindings important? This unique collection contains thoughts on these and many other questions the bibliophile may ask. Of course there is also a good dose on the pleasant company of books, and the virtue to be found therein, but there is space for plenty of light-hearted wit, and amongst it all, a good measure of true wisdom. The writers selected include novelists, memoirists, playwrights, scholars, thinkers and statesmen: Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Samuel Johnson, Jonathan Swift, Chaucer, Milton, Shakespeare, Emerson, Amos Alcott, and John Donne, John Ruskin, Dante, and Cervantes. This edition is indexed by author and by title/key phrase so you can easily find the text you are looking for. An appendix of extensive notes, interesting in their own right, is provided.

How much heavier was Thackeray's brain than Walt Whitman's? Which novels do American soldiers read? When did cigarettes start making an appearance in English literature? And, while we're about it, who wrote the first Western, is there any link between asthma and literary genius, and what really happened on Dorothea's wedding night in Middlemarch? In Curiosities of Literature, John Sutherland contemplates the full import of questions such as these, and attempts a few answers in a series of essays that are both witty and eclectic. His approach is also unashamedly discursive. An account of the fast-working Mickey Spillane, for example, leads to a consideration of the substances, both legal and illegal, that authors have employed to boost their creative energies. An essay on good and bad handwriting points out in passing that Thackeray could write the Lord's Prayer on the back of a stamp. As for Mary Shelley, a brief recital of the circumstances in which she wrote Frankenstein stops off to consider what impact the miserable summer weather of 1816 had on the future path of English literature. Of course, it is debatable whether knowledge of these arcane topics adds to the wisdom of nations, but it does highlight the random pleasures to be found in reading literature and reading about it. As John Sutherland rightly asks, 'Why else read?'
