Quote

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.

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.

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

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

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

Children should learn that reading is pleasure, not just something that teachers make you do in school.

Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty. It should be offered as a gift.

Making reading an enjoyable activity for children is a challenge. So I ensure that I write in a way that is fun for children to read.

The greatest pleasure of reading consists in re-reading.

Reading is important.
