“The best thing you can do for your kids is to encourage reading for pleasure--it makes required school reading so much easier and deeper and hones grammar, spelling, writing, comprehension, knowledge and imagination ...be it comic books or classics, fiction or non, Lord of the Rings or Lord of the Flies, let them read what they truly like...:)”

“Let my words give you sustenance, nourish your spirit, and take you places you've never imagined.Not just for today when you've read them, but for whatever forever we have in this life.Or the next.”

“Read everything. Read fiction and non-fiction, read hot best sellers and the classics you never got around to in college. ”

“Be Blessed and Be a Blessing!”

“Librarians are hot. They have knowledge and power over their domain...It is no coincidence how many librarians are portrayed as having a passionate interior, hidden by a cool layer of reserve. Aren't books like that? On the shelf, their calm covers belie the intense experience of reading one. Reading inflames the soul. Now, what sort of person would be the keeper of such books?”

“They should have a store next to the bookstore called the shit store where you can get shit books to read while on the shitter. No one reads great literature on the shitter.”

“When I read a book, I put in all the imagination I can, so that it is almost like writing the book as well as reading it - or rather, it is like living it. It makes reading so much more exciting, but I don't suppose many people try to do it.”
