“If you feel you need permission to do all the reading and writing your little heart desires, however, consider it hereby granted by yours truly.” - Stephen King, “Reading to Write”

Quote Synopsis
3 kinds of book owners -
1: has all the standard sets and best-sellers—unread, untouched.
2: has a great many books—a few of them read through, most of them dipped into, but all of them as clean and shiny as the day they were bought.
3: has a few books or many—every one of them dog-eared and dilapidated, shaken and loosened by continual use, marked and scribbled in from front to back.
