We never stop reading, although every book comes to an end, just as we never stop living, although death is certain.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I read just endlessly, ceaselessly, almost every book, it seems!
A writer's definitive death is when no one reads his books anymore. That's the final death.
There are books on our shelves we haven't read and doubtless never will, that each of us has probably put to one side in the belief that we will read them later on, perhaps even in another life.
Never read a book through merely because you have begun it.
I never stopped reading.
Every book for me is a chapter in the long book which will finally be closed on the day of my death.
I've stopped reading about the death of books because it's wasteful and morbid and insulting to the authors, agents, publishers, booksellers, critics, and readers that keep the world community of fiction interesting.
But then of course you reach a point where you have to say, I've got to figure out how this book's going to end. Otherwise, you're going to write yourself into so many dead-ends.
Live life and write about life. Of the making of many books there is indeed no end, but there are more than enough books about books.
The end of reading is not more books but more life.
