Walkabout Wednesday: Words of Wisdom for Readers

It's Wednesday. Let's go walkabout.

(I'm bringing along a few of my mates as I wander through the vast wilderness of the publishing industry, learning the ins and outs, and having a grand adventure.)

Walkabout, Week 54:

Last week, I shared a few choice nuggets about writing. This week, we're gonna cover reading.
Enjoy!

Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?

Only a generation of readers will spawn a generation of writers.

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested:
that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.
~ Francis Bacon ~

All books are divisible into two classes, the books of the hour, and the books of all time.
~ John Ruskin ~

We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a love of reading. ~ B. F. Skinner ~

What I like best is a book that's at least funny once in a while... What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.
~ J. D. Salinger ~

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read.
One does not love breathing.
~ Harper Lee ~
