"Confessions of a Book-Lover" by E. Walter Walters is a contemplative literary essay written in the early 20th century. This work invites readers into the intimate reflections of a passionate bibliophile, exploring the intertwined worlds of literature and personal sentiments. The narrative likely revolves around the author's musings on books as companions and sources of solace, capturing the essence of a book-lover's journey through their cherished volumes. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for Walters’s exploration into the significance of literature in one's life. He begins with a personal confession that draws parallels between the act of reading and broader human experiences – touching on loneliness and the desire for connection.
