Master books, but do not let them master you. Read to live, not live to read.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all.
A good book is the precious lifeblood of a master spirit.
The fun one can have writing books about books is limitless, to be honest.
The best books come from someplace inside. You don't write because you want to, but because you have to.
There are so many books I want to read. Difficult books. That's what I intend to do and what I'm longing for.
Some books I've kept because the binding is beautiful - I'm unlikely ever to read my grandmother's copy of 'The Life of Lord Nelson.' I'm addicted to secondhand bookshops.
I never want to deal with a book once I'm finished writing.
I try not to recommend too many books, frankly, because I think there's a certain synchronicity that happens when people discover books.
Books have the power to be the light we are seeking at crucial moments in our lives. Reading helps us realize we are not alone, that we can change our circumstances and even achieve the impossible.
I cannot live without books.
