“Teenagers read millions of books every year. They read for entertainment and for education. They read because of school assignments and pop culture fads.

“I had seen myself, a portrait of myself as a reader. My childhood: hours spent in airless classrooms, days home sick from school reading Nancy Drew, forbidden books read secretively late at night. Teenage years reading - trying to read- books I'd heard were important, Naked Lunch and The Fountainhead, Ulysses and Women in Love." -The Night Bookmobile”

“It's in being read that a book becomes a book, and in each of a million different readings a book become one of a million different books . . .”

“My reading list grows exponentially. Every time I read a book, it'll mention three other books I feel I have to read. It's like a particularly relentless series of pop-up ads.”

“In the past few years I've assigned books to be read before a student attends one of my weeklong seminars. I have been astonished by how few people -- people who supposedly want to write -- read books, and if they read them, how little they examine them.”

“ireally think that the Book Life,After is the best book i've read this year because i really got into it and actually read at home and liked it”
