When I first read this assignment, I thought I would have to just pick a random quote and lie about what it meant to me and how it represents my feelings towards books. When I started searching for quotes, I came across a quote by William Hazlitt, "Books let us into their souls and lay open to us the secrets of our own." I knew as soon as I read the quote that it was the perfect way to explain my feelings for reading. Whenever I read a book, I feel as if I find out something new about myself by the time I'm finished reading the book. Whether it's realizing how much I hate books with no story lines, something I realized while reading "The Catcher in the Rye" or when I read "Beastly", reminding me of how much I love "Beauty and the Beast" and other Disney movies. Books truly can reveal secrets hidden in our hearts and souls.

I agree that this is a great quote. It really shows you the impact of books on your mind. They can really open it up and reveal secrets of it, or they can keep your mind shut and bore you to sleep.
