Deutsche Übersetzung

Ein schlechtes Buch ist das Schlimmste, das es nicht bereuen kann. Es war nicht die Politik des Teufels, die Massen der Menschheit in Unwissenheit zu halten; Als er aber herausfindet, dass sie lesen werden, tut er alles in seiner Macht Stehende, um ihre Bücher zu vergiften.

For books I want to keep reading, it's definitely the voice. It must be a voice I've never heard before, and it must have its own particular intelligence. By 'voice,' I don't mean vernacular. It has to have its own particular history and world that it inhabits.
