沿着这个主题，再读几句。

When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own.

How pleasant it is to spend an evening in this way! I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
这样度过一个晚上是多么愉快啊!我声明，毕竟没有什么享受像阅读!一个人对任何事情的厌倦都比厌倦一本书快得多!要是我有了自己的房子，要是没有一间漂亮的书房，那才叫可怜呢。
