Taking Your Reading to Another Level

Rule number one: Reading is never an isolated act. Rule number two: Effective reading is quality over quantity. Rule number three: It’s not about who you are at the beginning of the book. It’s who you become at the end of it.

Oscar Wilde who said, “If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.”

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.”― J.D. Salinger, ‘The Catcher in the Rye’

William Styron in ‘Conversations with William Styron’: “A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.”

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”
