There is just one book to be concerned about - The Book of Life

That's a wide-open quote. If the man who said it meant that heaven will be full of wonder and knowledge, with an air of respect and reverence, I agree.
On the other hand, if we take into consideration that we'll loudly praise and worship God, fall at his feet in tears, and joyfully fellowship with our loved ones, that behavior would hardly fit in a library. I also can't imagine heaven as a big room full of dusty old books and old-maid librarians telling people to be quiet. -

There is a quote from Jane Austin about people who do not read, but I will not post it. It would cause too many knee-jerk reactions. -
Why will we need books when we will have the LORD to answer all questions!

Paradise for me would be a place where no atheists were allowed. Where nobody would mock those who love Christ and struggle to follow him.

― Jane Austen
I have a feeling this is the quote to which you refer. Jane Austen is one of my favorite writers.
It is hard for me to imagine what heaven will look like. Even scripture tells us that the eye has not seen or the ear heard what God has prepared for us. I think it will be far beyond our wildest dreams. -

Crabby, this is a little off-topic, but I've always wondered why Mormons have such a strange view of "heaven." I've heard they want to have their own planets with lots of wives who constantly have babies. Obviously, the guy who thought up that idea never went through childbirth!

She's a writer, Its no different than:
- A new/used car salesman saying "This is the best deal you'll find on this car, you are stupid if you don't buy it"
- A stock broker saying "Your'e crazy if you don't get in the market now!"
-An insurance salesman saying "Your'e stupid not to buy whole, term, and universal life insurance"
