“So many books, so little time.”
Frank Zappa

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
Mark Twain

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
Neil Gaiman

“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”
Jorge Luis Borges

“Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.”
Lemony Snicket

“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”
John Green

And of course, my all time favorite;

 “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
C.S. Lewis

My old friends are calling me from over on the bookshelf,my attention span has changed since being on the Internet A lot … I never imagined that could happen CW

I am disillusioned with tv,and don’t miss watching anything really, because I’m mostly watching on my own and that’s not much fun

Books ,on the other hand, have me thinking of all kinds of nice things during the day,and adventures by night in my dreams .I plan to read at least two pages of my old Watrship Down book today.
It was common not so long ago for me to read in bed a good book ,so engrossed I would suddenly realise the rooster was crowing !
