Friends or acquaintances sometimes introduce other persons
Books also introduce other books to a reader.
An expert on reading has big connections in the book world.
There are two elements to become an expert on reading in addition to intelligence.
One of them is money to buy many books.
Another is a space to keep books.
If the expert on reading leaves some books in his living room for long time, his wife must complain about it.
Professor Watanabe Shouichi, who is one of my author benefactors, had a very large house to keep many books.
But finally his house was flooded with books.
He decided to build a new house when he was nearly 80 years old.
He thought, “I must regret saving money without building a new house.”
Now he has a private library with 150,000 books.
Those books support him to write his new books.
