The quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes has e very distinct meaning to it. The author means that no book has one set meaning to it. the book will mean a something different to each person that reads it, or bring up different experiences someone has lived through. He then compares this to music. Everyone also gives song lyrics a different meaning and it's the same situation with books. No person looks at books in the same light.

This quote more relates to the book Rebecca. Both Brianne and I read the book and I will probably find think differently about it what she does. It made me think of how my brother and sister fight like Maxim and Beatrice and it was about probably the worse scenario you can get when you marry a man who "lost" his wife. Well that second part may not be the meaning but more like the plot although after reading it, I don't think i am ever going to marry a man who was previously married and his wife died. Just in case he happened to be a similar man to Maxim. I would most likely not handle that well.
