Quotes by Michael Schmidt (?)

“To become a 'good reader' one must give oneself over to a regime of concentrated pleasure. One does not set out to read a book a day (there is no necessary pleasure in that) but may spend two or three years on one book [. . .], read only portions of another, devour a third at a single sitting.”
― Michael Schmidt, The Novel: A Biography
