I don't read as much as people may expect. In fact, sometimes I feel that I should probably read more, but then I do believe that one of the big problems of our times is that there's too much reading and not enough thinking.

People read way too much into personalities and all that stuff.

And there are a lot more people reading poetry, but there are not so many people reading an individual poet.

There's so much more to a book than just the reading.

I think well-read people - the world is open to them.

There are very many people who read simply to prevent themselves from thinking.

I used to think... that people would think badly of me for various stuff they read. But now I accept it's just part of the deluge of stuff that comes every day.

Reading is a huge part of life.
