“Of all the places I have walked into, libraries must be the most magical. Have you ever opened the cover of a book and wondered what you would find inside? Where you would go? Whom you would meet? A story has the power to send you back in time or into the future, to transport you to other lands and kingdoms. I’ve met ogres, talking rabbits, and some of my best friends in the pages of books.
Librarians might just have the best jobs ever. With each library card they hand out, they offer a ticket to strange and marvelous worlds. Open a book and, like Reading Beauty, you might fall under a spell—the magic of a deep read. But chances are, unlike the Sleeping Beauty of the original fairy tale, you will never want the spell to be broken.”

“The great thing about literature is that it's subjective. No two readers read the same book, because we all see the words through different eyes, filter the story through different life experiences.”

“If words come alive on the page, the writer succeeds in connecting to the reader.”

“Hope knew that her thinking regarding books went contrary to the general sentiment of the people of Eden. Books were seen as a waste of time. What was the point, unless you were reading for information? To lose oneself in a book was to be slightly wacky, a little greedy, and ultimately slothful. There was no value. You couldn't make money from reading a book. A book did not give you clean bathrooms and waxed floors. It did not put the garden in. You couldn't have a conversation while reading. It was arrogant and alienated others. In short, those who read were wasteful and haughty and incapable of living in the real world. They were dreamers.”

“Short story collections are the literary equivalent of canapés, tapas and mezze in the world of gastronomy: Delightful assortments of tasty morsels to whet the reader's appetite.”

“Is it not a pity when some stylistic subtlety is lost without trace by the reader's inattention?”

“[E]r sprach von einer Rasse von Fulltime-Lesern, von Bibliotheken, wimmelnd von Blaustrümpfen, die der Sonne und der Liebe untreu waren, von Häusern, wo der Geruch von Druckerschwärze der Fröhlichkeit des Knoblauchs den Garaus machte.”

“Nonreaders rely almost exclusively upon their senses and tactile interactions to interpret their external environment whereas people who read are apt to rely upon their internal interpretation of other people’s written thoughts. Nonreaders tend to catalogue their life experiences and derive their values exclusively through their interaction with external stimuli.”

“Sometimes I think that knowing what someone is reading is almost exactly the same as knowing what they're thinking, or at least knowing what they care about.”

“I spend a lot of time reading, but I do not consider myself a big reader. On my shelves I count as many books read as unfinished.”
