“The more that you read, the more things you will know. 
The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” -Dr. Seuss
“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.” -William Styron

I read to know that I am not alone :)

“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.”
