A book is kind of like a good Horcrux, if we can imagine that -- a piece of the writer's soul, preserved in a physical object for all time, and changing the lives of all those who come in contact with it.

Summary

This quote compares a book to a Horcrux, a concept from the Harry Potter series. It suggests that, like a Horcrux containing a piece of one's soul, a book holds a part of the writer's essence within its pages. Furthermore, it implies that a book has the power to impact and transform the lives of those who engage with it, just as encountering a Horcrux does in the fictional world.
