Ever wonder why you think a book is the best thing you ever read but your friend doesn't share your enthusiasm? Anais Nin has this to say about why certain people are drawn to certain books:
"But I am fully aware now that people do not judge literature objectively, as a work of art. A book is judged almost entirely by a person's need, and what people respond to is either a reflection of themselves, a multiple mirror, or an elucidation of their time, a concern with their problems, fears, or a familiar atmosphere which is reassuring by its familiarity."
