Every book you pick up has its own lesson or lessons, and quite often the bad books have more to teach than the good ones.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Who learns most from a good book is the author.
Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor substitute for life.
There are good books and there are bad books, period, that's the distinction.
I don't like books that seem to want to teach me things. Which is not to say that one doesn't learn from books - but you do your own learning in your own way.
Children simply don't make the distinction; a book is either good or bad. And some of the books they think are good are very, very bad indeed.
I think the most important lesson isn't necessarily to try and write a different book every time, or to try and brand yourself and write one specific kind of book, but to write the kind of books you love to read.
A bad book is as much of a labor to write as a good one, it comes as sincerely from the author's soul.
Even bad books are books and therefore sacred.
All good books have one thing in common - they are truer than if they had really happened.
No one knows why books do well.
