When book and reader’s furrowed brow meet, it isn’t always the book that’s stupid.

Reading is dreaming. Reading is entering a world of imagination shared between reader and author. Reading is getting beyond the words to the story or meaning underneath.

The ability to read becomes devalued when what one has learned to read adds nothing of importance to one’s life.

If a book doesn’t inspire you to read more, it was not worth read.

I like best to have one book in my hand, and a stack of others on the floor beside me, so as to know the supply of poppy and mandragora will not run out before...

Each time we come to a book we give it a different reading because we bring a different person to it. It is not you who reads the book, the book reads you

My new favorite title is How Jane Austen Ruined My Life. I don’t have the courage to read it, though. I’m afraid to discover she’s ruined mine as well.

I read as if time were running out, because technically it is. As I grow older I find I’m increasingly impatient with mediocre entertainments; I want books that will take my breath away and realign...

These books have not made George nobler or better or more truly wise. It is just that he likes listening to their voices, the one or the other, acording to his mood. He misuses them...

Reading requires actual concentration. If you skipped a paragraph, or even an important sentence, you could lose the entire story. With most TV shows, though, you didn’t have to concentrate at all. You could space...

Life is too short to read books that I’m not enjoying.

Non ricordo in che libro fosse. Ma ora è in questo

I love books because I don’t have to wait for the commercials to be over to find out what happens.

Reading’s ability to beam you up to a different world is a good part of the reason why people like me do it in the first place—because dollar for dollar, hour per hour, it’s the...

We may need to put down the book from time to time, but we should make sure not to let the computer become the new book. The universal medium, like the universal library, is a...

A book is indeed dead until a reader brings it into life by reading it.

Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but, most important, it finds homes for us everywhere.

What reading does, ultimately, is keep alive the dangerous and exhilarating idea that a life is not a sequence of lived moments, but a destiny…the time of reading, the time defined by the author’s language...

Deep layers of context are missed when cursorily reading for quantity at the expense of comprehension – only the vapid are impressed by those who try to squeeze as many books as possible into each...

I, on the other hand, believe that books, maps, scissors, and Scotch tape dispensers are all unreliable vagrants, likely to take off for parts unknown unless strictly confined to quarters.

There is no other escape like a book. Reading expands your mind and opens your world to a myriad of possibilities.
