Take it away...


For your brief amusement, here's what some writers say about books. And they should know, right?

Definition of a classic: a book which people praise but don't read.

Mark Twain.

*     *    *

Many people, myself among them, feel better at the mere sight of a book.

Jane Smiley

If you don't like to read, you haven't found the right book.

J.K. Rowling

*     *     *

One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1000 years. To read is to voyage through time.

Carl Sagan

*    *    *

Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.

Neil Gaiman
