“There are two motives for reading a book; one, that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it.”

“If you enjoy books with happy endings than you are better off reading some other book.”

“If you read one book you are a clone. If you read two books you are confused. If you read ten books you have your own voice. And if you read one hundred books you are wise. (paraphrase)”

“That's what I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book, and that tiny thing will lead you to another book, and another bit there will lead you onto a third book. It's geometrically progressive - all with no end in sight, and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment.”

“Let others pride themselves about how many pages they have written; I'd rather boast about the ones I've read.”
