Ally’s Reviews > Every Day I Read: 53 Ways to Get Closer to Books > Status Update

“I can't imagine a world without books. Until my last breath, I want to live my life reading, always.”

“These days, I want to slow down, to stop rushing here and there, to stop cluttering my mind, and to stop trying so hard all the time. And if I make plans, I make sure it's something I truly like. And that is to laze in bed and read.”

“Are you struggling with your current read but feel obliged to keep reading? Are you stealing glances at the other books you wish you were reading instead? If so, just stop and reach for the other book. There isn't a right or wrong way to read.”

“But reading is about understanding the world and ourselves, not finishing as many books as possible. We aren't reading to become faster, but to feel and understand more. Unless you read for work, there's no reason to rush.”

“To ask and answer questions takes courage, and hopefully, we learn to think before we act.”

“Sometimes a single sentence is more powerful than a whole book.”
