No one can read with profit that which he cannot learn to read with pleasure.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.
I don't believe for one moment you can write well what you wouldn't read for pleasure.
Reading is not a duty, and has consequently no business to be made disagreeable.
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.
Children should learn that reading is pleasure, not just something that teachers make you do in school.
If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.
Let all the time you can get be spent in trying to learn to read.
The habit of reading is the only enjoyment in which there is no alloy; it lasts when all other pleasures fade.
The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them.
A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.
