Books are the most mannerly ...

Books are the most mannerly of companions, accessible at all times, in all moods, frankly declaring the author's mind, without offence. Amos Bronson Alcott,
(Concord Days 1872)

Quoted from A Dictionary of Library and Information Science Quotations. Edited by Mohamed Taher & L S Ramaiah (New Delhi , Aditya, 1994) p. 5. See Amazon.com.

Reading Time is ...

“The time to read is any time: no apparatus, no appointment of time and place, is necessary. It is the only art which can be practiced at any hour of the day or night, whenever the time and inclination comes, that is your time for reading; in joy or sorrow, health or illness.” John Aiken, Letters from a father to his son (1796)

Quoted from A Dictionary of Library and Information Science Quotations. Edited by Mohamed Taher & L S Ramaiah (New Delhi , Aditya, 1994) p. 4. See Amazon.com.

Lonely Job....

Dear author, please be aware again...

“Writing is the loneliest job in the world.” Bill Adler (Inside publishing, 1982)

Quoted from A Dictionary of Library and Information Science Quotations. Edited by Mohamed Taher & L S Ramaiah (New Delhi , Aditya, 1994) p. 4. See Amazon.com.

Punch Line: And, I did accomplish it (albiet, not in solitude and loneliness; rather it was done in a synchronous mode, with a real-time zeal to capture and catalog all the relevant sources in cyberspace). See my new book: Cyber Worship in Multifaith Perspectives, by Mohamed Taher, Scarecrow Press, 2006.
