Reading Books Quotes (page 42)

The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that. Harper Lee
It's a little bit like my inability to read a guide book before I go anywhere. I can read it after I've been there and by the same logic I refuse to accept any technical stunts from anybody. I refused to learn more than I knew and I confess I missed a great deal. Ben Shahn
We want a book to be a book. We'll have all the interactive bells and whistles but our intent is to engage young people in reading, not to show them a movie. LeVar Burton
I knew that if I wrote a new book every six months or every year, if I continued to read great books, eventually I would write something worthy of publication. I understood I might be in my forties or my fifties or even my sixties, but I felt confident that it would happen. Augusten Burroughs
In quoting of books, quote such authors as are usually read; others you may read for your own satisfaction, but not name them. John Selden
A book reads the better which is our own, and has been so long known to us, that we know the topography of its blots, and dog's ears, and can trace the dirt in it to having read it at tea with buttered muffins. Charles Lamb
When I was a child and teenager I read whenever I had the opportunity, but since then I've found it hard to read as much as I'd like, children, work, and pets all providing powerful incentives to escape into a book and a practical reason why I rarely do so. Louise Brown
I write about five thousand words a day, when working on a book, about three thousand a day if I'm writing a short story. I take long periods off between projects, when I read a lot, garden, and think about the next book or stories. Eric Brown
I'm a huge classics fan. I love Ernest Hemingway and J.D. Salinger. I'm that guy who rereads a book before I read newer stuff, which is probably not all that progressive, and it's not really going to make me a better reader. I'm like, 'Oh, my God, you should read To Kill a Mockingbird.' John Krasinski
In the book, I write about children in first grade who were taught to read by reading want ads. They learned to write by writing job applications. Imagine what would happen if anyone tried to do that to children in a predominantly white suburban school. Jonathan Kozol
I would like to have the superpower of being able to touch a book and then gain all the knowledge out of that book without spending hours and days reading it. Nicholas Brendon
Zoltan Kodaly quote: "We should read music in the same way that an educated adult..."
We should read music in the same way that an educated adult will read a book: in silence, but imagining the sound. Zoltan Kodaly
R. A. Salvatore quote: "Writing a book for me, I expect, is very similar to the..."
Writing a book for me, I expect, is very similar to the experience of reading the book for my readers. R. A. Salvatore
I loved to read and to write, but then something happened. As I made my way through school, I kept getting handed books to read that didn't excite me and didn't even remotely connect to the realities of my life. R. A. Salvatore
Francoise Sagan quote: "The one thing I regret is that I will never have time to read..."
The one thing I regret is that I will never have time to read all the books I want to read. Francoise Sagan
