Well, books are probably my favorite thing in the world. Or one of my favorite things anyway. Like Erasmus says: "If I have a little money I buy books; and if any is left, I buy food and clothes.”
So here are my favorite quotes about Books and Reading.
“Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them all”
-Henry David Thoreau
“A book is a gift you can open again and again.”
-Garrison Keillor
“Books are for people who wish they were somewhere else.”
-Mark Twain
“Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.”
-Mark Twain
“You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.”
-Paul Sweeney
“These are not books, lumps of lifeless paper, but minds alive on the shelves.”
-Gilbert Highet
“A classic is a book which people praise and don't read.”
-Mark Twain
“If there's a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it”
-Toni Morrison
“If a book is really good, it deserves to be read again, and if it's great, it should be read at least three times.”
-Anatole Broyard
“Book lovers will understand me, and they will know too that part of the pleasure of a library lies in its very existence”
-Jan Morris
