Daniel Pennac. As the novel (№ 256420)

The concept of "maturity" in the reading pane - a piece of strange. Up to a certain age, some books we can not handle. But unlike good wines, good books don't age. They are waiting for us on the shelves, and we grow old. When we think that we matured, we undertake them again. And then one of two things: either the meeting takes place, or again we fail. Maybe we will make another attempt, maybe not.
