My grandfather could barely read. My grandmother had a sixth-grade education. They were people who were industrious. They were frugal.

The oldest books are only just out to those who have not read them.

To the best of my knowledge, my youngest reader is 10 and the oldest is 95.

My mother relied on her memory to do things because she couldn't read. Part of that was not really knowing numbers.

In a very real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read.

I simply write with an intelligent reader in mind. I don't think about how old they are.

I basically only read books that are over 2,000 years old.

I've never thought about the ages of my readers.

Well, I can't remember not being able to read. I was told I could read by myself very well at the age of three.
