The love of books is among the choicest gifts of the gods.
Are you a reader? If you aren't a reader, you might as well forget trying to be a writer.
I'm always reading. I've loved reading since I was young, and I've always loved sinking my teeth into a different world, especially one that you begin to create in your head.
Most people seem to think I'm the kind of guy who shaves with a blowtorch. Actually I'm bookish and worrisome.
I read the 'Twilight' books before the movie and the whole craze happened. And then I loved it. I was in love with Edward before every other girl that says she's in love with him was. Because I read them a long time ago shooting a movie in Salt Lake City, and one of Stephenie Meyer's friends said, 'Make sure you read my friend's book.'
I am pretty much a nerd, and I love to read.
I am too fond of reading books to care to write them.
I've always loved Jane Austen's writing.
I suppose I'm an obsessive reader. If I could make a living reading the books I want to read and then telling people about them, I'd pick that over acting.
. . . finally, I couldn't imagine how I could live without books, and I stopped dreaming about marrying that Chinese prince. . . .
I have to admit that I am really partial to the look and feel of a book. I have been that way my entire life.
And you love to read, you love to escape, right?
The printed page was like wine to me.
Sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads.
I was a bookish kid, not really athletic.
I preferred to read than talk with the others.
When I was in my 20s, I was a bookworm - spent 12 hours of the day in the library. How I met George, I'll never know.
I'm an avid biography reader.
Well, before I knew there was going to be a film. I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books.
At heart I am a librarian, a bird-watcher, a transcendentalist, a gardener, a spinster, a monk.
I like being at home with my music and my books. I’ve done all the partying, I’ve done enough partying for four or five people as a young fella. But now I like the quiet life.
I love a good book. I'm not a club girl. I like hanging out and reading my books.
I grew up in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, and reading was a big part of my life - I'd get through several books a week.
The book borrower...proves himself to be an inveterate collector of books not so much by the fervor with which he guards his borrowed treasures...as by his failure to read these books.
Let every book-worm, when in any fragrant, scarce old tome, he discovers a sentence, a story, an illustration, that does his heart good, hasten to give it the widest circulation that newspapers and magazines, penny and halfpenny, can afford.
