“The only thing worse than not reading a book in the last ninety days is not reading a book in the last ninety days and thinking that it doesn't matter”

“Open the book to page ninety-nine and read, and the quality of the whole will be revealed to you.”

“Life is like a book son. And every book has an end. No matter how much you like that book you will get to the last page and it will end. No book is complete without its end. And once you get there, only when you read the last words, will you see how good the book is.”

“The things you're looking for...are in the world, but the only way the average chap will see ninety-nine percent of them is in a book.”

“The important thing is not so much to read fast, as to read each book at the speed it deserves. It is as regrettable to spend too much time on some books as it is to read others too quickly. There are books you know well, just from flicking through them, others you only grasp at second or third reading, and others again which will last you a lifetime.”

“Last night I read two books back to back. Tonight I’ll probably read both of those books’ front covers.”
