I read for interest and enjoyment, and when I cease to enjoy it I stop.

What I want is to try and get across the idea that reading for pleasure is so beneficial. And turn children on who have maybe been switched off reading or never found a love of it in the first place.

I love reading; it's a great way to avoid writing.

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

I don't believe for one moment you can write well what you wouldn't read for pleasure.

I always try to read at night, because it gets me kind of tired.

I haven't read for pleasure in 35 years. I mean, I get a lot of pleasure from what I read... For me, it's gotten so that it doesn't seem as though I've read a book unless I've written about it. It really seems the completion of the reading process.

I absolutely love reading; it is a fantastic way of unwinding.

Every single pleasure I can imagine or have experienced is more delightful, more of a pleasure, if you take it in small sips, if you take your time. Reading is not an exception.

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.
