I do some of my best reading while seated in the bathroom.
The secret of popular writing is never to put more on a given page than the common reader can lap off it with no strain whatsoever on his habitually slack attention.
I read here and there in books, enjoying the examples and ignoring the argument.
The only two places where I can read for long stretches are in airplanes and in bed at nighttime.
A fine book, in the perfect setting, when there's all the time in the world to read it: Life holds greater joys, but none come to mind just now.
It's fun to just skim through piles of books in the stacks of a library.
'Jingle Belle' spins out of my love for just sitting down and reading a good, fun Sunday morning comic strip panel.
We're in a strange situation where people either don't read at all or they read a lot. There's a huge gap in between. That's something that would be good to bridge so it doesn't have to be one thing or the other. Books could be part of life in a more relaxed way. I'd like to see that.
Their house had real hardcover books in it, and you often saw them lying open on the sofa, the words still warm from being read.
I like to read in the dark. I like to go into the bathtub, turn out all the lights, and in the dark, read my books.
