Master books, but do not let them master you. Read to live, not live to read.
I was able to read a movie before I was able to read a book.
I usually don't read things written about me and I certainly don't read things if they are inappropriate.
Where one man reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me.
Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.
I read more than I do anything else, probably. I read about three books a week.
At school, I would read the City pages before I read the sports pages.
We should read music in the same way that an educated adult will read a book: in silence, but imagining the sound.
I think well-read people - the world is open to them.
You become a reader by reading the literature, not by reading the handbooks about it.
Read everything! I believe that reading made me a writer.

If laughter came in paste format you could squeeze out of a tube, I’ll bet nine out of ten dentists would recommend comedy before bed. The tenth doctor, having just read Tolstoy as deliberately mistranslated by Dora J. Arod, would probably recommen...
