Reading Quotes

Today we read books ‘extensively,’ often without sustained focus, and with rare exceptions we read each book only once. We value quantity of reading over quality of reading. We have no choice, if we want to keep up with the broader culture Picture Quote #1

I read the Steve Jobs book, and that kind of changed everything. I’ve been, like, an Apple geek my whole life and have always seen him as a hero. But reading the book, and learning about how he built the company, and maintaining that corporate culture and all that, I think that influenced me a lot Picture Quote #1

With ‘California,’ editors were reading it, and fast, and others were emailing my agent to request it. Ultimately, there were a few editors interested in the book, and it sold at auction about two weeks after the submission process started. I couldn’t believe it! Picture Quote #1

The first comic I can remember ever reading was a ‘Fantastic Four’ issue that my dad bought out of the drugstore once. The thing that struck me about it was that the ending wasn’t an ending. It was essentially a cliffhanger. It was the first time I had ever read anything like that, where you read a book, but the book isn’t the book Picture Quote #1

I read about violent things. I think what I get out of that is entertainment by learning about different things, and reading the genre and getting an understanding of motivations. But at the end of the day, it’s still a book, and I can walk away Picture Quote #1

Reading groups, readings, breakdowns of book sales all tell the same story: when women stop reading, the novel will be dead Picture Quote #1

Information is not knowledge, and knowledge is not wisdom. Reading - even browsing - an old book can yield sustenance denied by a database search. Patience is a virtue, gluttony a sin Picture Quote #1

It’s not even my job to educate, but what I do is try to facilitate by creating a book that works on different levels. I do want to entertain and bring some joy to the reading experience. If it holds a little kernel of knowledge that readers choose to explore, well, that’s great Picture Quote #1

For me, learning is a continuous process and an all-inclusive one - reading a book, learning a musical instrument or learning the martial art called taekwondo. Teach myself something new - that’s my prayer Picture Quote #1

All good and true book-lovers practice the pleasing and improving avocation of reading in bed ... No book can be appreciated until it has been slept with and dreamed over Picture Quote #1

Try reading the Book of Mormon because you want to, not because you have to. Discover for yourself that it is true Picture Quote #1

Throughout the ages, Christians have adapted John of Patmos’s visions to changing times, reading their own social, political and religious conflicts into the cosmic war he so powerfully evokes. Yet his Book of Revelation appeals not only to fear and desires for vengeance but also to hope Picture Quote #1

I’m not dead. But when I am, it’s likeI don’t know, I guess it’s like being inside a book that nobody’s reading Picture Quote #1

I struggle with reading a bit. I’m slightly dyslexic, so reading takes me quite a while, and in general, I’m not a big book reader at all. And something like ‘Game of Thrones’ seems very daunting to me! Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t a big comic book reader. I always had trouble knowing which box to read next. I was always reading from the wrong box. I was like, this is a comic book that doesn’t make any sense! I think I was reading them all out of sequence Picture Quote #1

Writing a book for me, I expect, is very similar to the experience of reading the book for my readers Picture Quote #1

I think it’s so important for young readers to find a book or series that ignites their passion for reading, especially boys, whose interest in reading wanes as they grow older Picture Quote #1

The process of reading is reciprocal; the book is no more than a formula, to be furnished out with images out of the reader’s mind Picture Quote #1

In general, I think, less is more, and that if a reader stops reading because a book is too icky then I’ve failed in my obligation to the readers Picture Quote #1

I was always taught that book keeping was more relevant than book reading. The only thing worth reading was meant to be a balance sheet Picture Quote #1

When people are reading a book, it’s a personal thing. They’re reading it; it’s in their own mind; it’s in their own personal space when they’re reading it Picture Quote #1

I think that my first book - I was trying to write the kind of book I would have loved as a kid. So it’s sort of, like, a book inspired by my childhood reading and the passion that I felt about reading when I was a kid Picture Quote #1

I never had a favourite book! I liked all kinds of things - science fiction, so I read Heinlen and Ray Bradbury, and I also liked reading about kids like myself, so I read Judy Blume and Norma Klein and Paula Danzinger and a lot of other writers. I also read James Herriot! Picture Quote #1

When you read a supernatural suspense story or a ghost story, or a horror story, the evil at play is something that you can dismiss. And I wonder if, in this time, if people really want to be sitting on the subway reading a book about someone releasing a dirty bomb on the subway Picture Quote #1

All reading should be pleasurable! I don’t like people who keep reeling out the ‘books are so important’ line. First and foremost, reading is about entertainment, the same as movies, video games and music Picture Quote #1
