Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

"A bookshelf is as particular to its owner as are his or her clothes; a personality is stamped on a library just as a shoe is shaped by the foot." - Alan Bennett

Lightning & Stars in the Bookshop

The Day of Creation by J. G. Ballard

"... one book could be a library, if it was a book that made a big enough dimple in L-space. A book with a title like 100 Ways with Broccoli was unlikely to be one such, whereas The Relationship Between Capital and Labour might be, especially if it had an appendix on making explosives. " - Terry Pratchett
