“Partly because it is such a complex process, reading is not just a habit our a skill, it's a deeply satisfying emotional experience. Something in us knows that the slimmest insights, the trust wisdom, the most enduring knowledge come through this channel. The spleen word rushes by and is gone, but the written word remains. It ensures. It can be consulted over and over again. Forever.

How wise then to surround oneself with books and magazines.

How wise to love them, and to teach one's children to love them.

How wise to read!”
