Hunting out a book to lend to a friend, I stumbled over Melvyn Bragg’s excellent biography of Richard Burton Rich: The Life of Richard Burton.
This in turn reminded me of a wonderful quote of Burton’s I read in the newspaper absolutely ages ago. Apparently the Burtons didn’t travel light – Richard always took a trunk of books and when asked about his love of reading said:
Home is where the books are.
… Need one say more!
Now that’s what I should do – a bag of books is never enough!
