I would never require anyone to read any book. That seems antithetical to why we read - which is to choose a book for our personal reasons. I always shudder when I'm told my books are on required reading lists.

There are people out there who will not read books, but somehow they'll read my books.
Reading is as much a part of life as any part, and it's life itself. And it allows us to live other lives that we might not have lived if we hadn't picked up those 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.
You need books to read and readers for books.
I'm constantly running across people who have never heard of books I think they should read.
Without books I would not have become a vivacious reader, and if you are not a reader you are not a writer.
Reading is a free practice. I think the readers are free to begin by the books where they want to. They don't have to be led in their reading.
All reading should be pleasurable! I don't like people who keep reeling out the 'books are so important' line. First and foremost, reading is about entertainment, the same as movies, video games and music.
