When I'm in London, I love to visit Kensington gardens and just sit in the park and read a good book.
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.
No one ever committed suicide while reading a good book, but many have tried while trying to write one.
It's nice to know that what you're doing is being read and enjoyed by a good deal of people.
I think kids will read more good books than we can possibly produce.
When I read good stories, I want to write good stories too.
Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.
Oh yes, my generation liked to be in some pain when they read. The harder it was, the more good we believed it was doing us.
I did my first film when I was in the final year of my graduation. At that time, I was still a kid, and I couldn't read the industry very well.
Read as you taste fruit or savor wine, or enjoy friendship, love or life.
As a pastor, I have a deep desire to lead people to God and encourage people to pray, read the Bible, and carry their faith into every part of their lives.
Whether I'm being influenced by new music that I'm listening to, books I've read, my friends, or my faith, I'm learning all the time.
As I read the New Testament, I find only one path to salvation - the path of an informed faith in Jesus Christ.
I have never, ever, not once, met a writer who said he or she would never read a mystery or a story set in some imagined future.
What you do with it and things like that, but I basically chose this after I read it because I thought it was different and funny and unique and dark - things that I like to do.
Don DeLillo's 'White Noise,' which I read when I was 19. It showed me that a book can be funny as hell and deadly serious.
So often, I read scripts and am like, 'This would never happen in real life. It's not trying to be funny. It's trying to be serious.'
I do not have deep theological understanding or opinion, but I do not read the Bible as the literal word of God.
Fundamentalism does mean reading quite conservatively and literally, saying 'the Bible is the word of God and we have to follow it. What it says is this.'
I read one chapter of a book and put it down. Thank God for Kindle.
I would like to have the superpower of being able to touch a book and then gain all the knowledge out of that book without spending hours and days reading it.
