The book is too original and too opulent for any final judgement on a first reading. But we know at once that it has done things to us. We are not quite the same.

-C.S. Lewis on The Lord of the Rings in his critical essay, ‘The Dethronement of Power’ (via vinyalonde)

I like it when a book does things to me.
