Nothing’s better than a good book. I am amazed when I meet people who don’t read. It’s like they are from another planet!

Carol, I love these quotes. I especially like the one that a child becomes a reader on the lap of their parents. I think that is SO true and it saddens me that some parents do not read to their children.

I just love the two Chinese proverbs. Just found your site via Thursday thirteen which I did for the first time. It’s a nice way to select blogs to check out because of the types of lists they choose. Mine is things that get on my nerves. It was that kind of day. Nice blog. We both chose pink.

What great bunch of quotes. My favorite is number one, about reading being a refuge.

But I disagree with Richard McKenna (#6). I don’t think the act of reading itself is more important than the content. That’s like saying the act of cooking is more important than the food itself. It’s true that bad cooking can ruin the best food; it’s also true that good cooking can raise ordinary ingredients to great heights. But no level of cooking skill can make garbage anything more than well done garbage.

“Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.” — Groucho Marx

TMS: I love that quote, too! I should’ve included it in this week’s T13. Maybe someday I’ll do a third T13 of reading quotes.

These are great quotes! I love the one about reading is to the mind as exercise is to the body! I think it’s so important to keep learning and challenging yourself and I enjoy reading pretty much anything!!

Happy TT
