"It's a waste of a good book to keep it for yourself after you've read it. Once you've read it a few times and really absorbed what you can from, and learned all that you can from it. There's no point in keeping it. The point of a good book is to be shared. To leave an impact on someone, and you can't do that if its just collecting dust on a shelf. So... I want you to have it. I don't want it back when you're done with it either. It belongs to you now."

I've held on to this book for a long time. To remember what she said to me. I realise now it's not mine to keep, it's kinda the whole point of what she was saying when you think about it. I was too caught up in trying to remember, that I didn't really listen to what she said at all. So, I want you to have this, and I don't want it back when you're done either. It's yours to keep.
