I'm not a masochistic reader. If something is just too dense or not enjoyable, even though I'm told it should be good for me, I'll put it down. That said, most of what I read would be considered high-end or good for you, I suppose. But, I also think that reading should be enjoyable.

As society diversifies, the number of people who read literature is decreasing. It will be difficult for readers to digest my ideas through literature.

Today we read books 'extensively,' often without sustained focus, and with rare exceptions we read each book only once. We value quantity of reading over quality of reading. We have no choice, if we want to keep up with the broader culture.

Reading is a huge part of life.

I suppose people might consider me a 'loose' reader, as I seem willing to read anything of quality thinking and prose.

I'm not that big of a reader, to be honest.

For people who are readers, reading is important to them.

I don't really read too much. It really is counter to my energy. I can't sit down and concentrate on words.

Reading is a basic tool in the living of a good life.

Reading is becoming a kind of specialist activity, and that strikes terror into the heart of people who love reading.
