“I'll just read a book instead...”

“One day, I'll sit down with all my books around me, and just start reading.”

“For me to read a book is stillAnd always will be quite a thrill.For me to read a book is likeA boy when he rides his new two wheel bike.And when a bird comes north in springIt's natural for her to sing.I like to read books of poems and historyBooks of fiction and of mystery.And what is more, I'll read until I'm grownAnd then I'll write books of my own.”

“Don't believe everything you read. It's very difficult to be accepting of our own bodies. This topic deserves it's own book, but since I'm not qualified to write it, I won't. Instead I'll just say this: The pictures staring out at you from the supermarket checkout stands, the images we are all supposed to aspire to? They lie”

“I won't read a book that starts with a description of the weather. I don't read books over 300 pages, though I'll make an exception for Don Delillo.”

“Thank you for sending me a copy of your book. I'll waste no time reading it.”
