This quote is from Karen Swallow Prior's memoir Booked: Literature in the Soul of Me
If you're a Christian and you love to read, I can't recommend this book highly enough. There were points in this memoir that I felt she was telling my story too. Loved it. (I haven't posted my Goodreads review yet, but I plan to do that later today.)
Another quote:
[Books] were the backwoods path to God, bramble-filled and broken, yes, but full of truth and wonder.
"A book formed soul" is a good way to describe myself, I think.
