Quote by John Green
Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. And then there are books like An Imperial Affliction, which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like betrayal
Summary
This quote captures the powerful impact that certain books can have on individuals. It outlines the transformative experience of reading a book that resonates deeply, inspiring an almost zealous desire to share it with the world. However, it also acknowledges the existence of special books that feel intensely personal and hold a sacred place in one's heart. In these cases, the idea of revealing or promoting one's love for such a book feels like a betrayal, as if it would diminish the unique connection they have with it.
