About this Quote

This quote by Katherine Mansfield speaks with the delight of reading and the special bond that can be formed when two people share a love of books. Checking out can be a solitary activity, however when two individuals share the same books, the enjoyment of reading is doubled.

Checking out can be a way to connect with somebody, to read more about them, and to deepen the relationship.
