I honestly believe there is absolutely nothing like going to bed with a good #book; or a friend who's #read one.
I do not love the money. What I do love is the getting of it. . . What other interest can you suggest to me? I do not read. I do not take part in politics. What can I do?
. . . to write well it is entirely necessary to read widely and deeply. Good poems are the best teachers.
To read your own mind is to look at your self and read your soul. Hatred becomes love and that is the path I am working on
I read a lot of scripts that I just don't find very funny.
The Bible is the funniest book I have ever read. It's so funny! Right in the first six pages, it's funny!
We should read other people's books in order to learn what we feel; it is our own thoughts we should be developing, even if it is another writer's thought that help us to do so.
I hide my documents in many different places on my computer, because I often write things that I would never want anybody to read, at least unedited, and I'm paranoid that someone might figure out what the password to my computer is and maliciously read my Word documents. So a lot of the time I lose things I've written andor completely forget about them.
Nature's book always contains the truth; we must only learn to read it.
People do not read stupidities with impunity.
I've been dyslexic and had Attention Deficit Disorder at some time in my life. I still read with a highlighter, but I've always loved to read.
In my life, I am often reminded that there is a destiny that rules over us, because no one whom I know about or whom I read about seems to be completely happy during a long time.
God didnt put you on earth just to read about what others do. He made you TO DO some things others will want to read about!
I don't believe any of you have ever read Paradise Lost, and you don't want to. That's something that you just want to take on trust. It's a classic. . . something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.
What a joy it is to read a book that shocks one into remembering just how high one's literary standards should be. . . . a tour de force by one of England's best novelists. . . . Atonement is a spectacular book; as good a novel - and more satisfying. . . - than anything McEwan has written. . . . sublimely written narrative. . . . The Dunkirk passage is a stupendous piece of writing, a set piece that could easily stand on its own.
I think fiction writers write what they do because no one else has written it and they want to read it.
Frankly, reviews aremostly for peoplewho still read. Like most of the written word, it isgoing the way of the dinosaur.
Do not read the newspapers.
Be a life long student, read as many books as possible.
I wish I gardened. I don't have a space for a garden. I'm in an apartment in New York but I do lots of stuff. I read and write and hang out with people. I go see movies.
