I've read the first chapter of Wilf Hall. I'll leave the typo - it amuses me.

I clipped this quote from the Guardian a few days ago - just about fits the bill.
From Guardian article on Jan Morris. aged 93. (Uncle Bob would do well to check her out)
Morris looks around her bookshelves, the thousands of books that line this long room floor to ceiling. “People always say: ‘Have you read them all?’ she says. “No. but I have an emotional attachment to them all. I pick an old book out and if it is interesting I read a few pages. I put letters and photographs and cards in them to find later.”
