More on Books
“To read a book is to hold an entire world in the palm of your hand. That world is unique to you; no two readers can ever inhabit the same world”
“If the book we are reading does not wake us, as with a fist hammering on our skull, why then do we read it?”
“Wat a vast fertility of pleasure books hold for me! I went in and found the table laden with books. I looked in and sniffed them all. I could not resist carrying this one off and broaching it. I think I could happily live here and read forever.”
More on Reading
“Get books, sit yourself down anywhere, and go to reading them yourself.”
“A book is maybe about 350 pages, and the prose allows for readers to get a glimpse into the internal lives of the characters. A screenplay is 120 pages, and it's all dialogue and action. The pacing of films is different, the structure is often different, and the internal lives of the characters must come across through the acting. Movies are just a different experience than reading - so it just depends on what an individual prefers.”
“I never tire of reading Tom Paine.”
