The
first time I read an excellent work, it is to me
just as if I gained a new friend; and when I read
over a book I have perused before, it resembles the
meeting of an old one.
-- Sir James
Goldsmith
I read
part of it all the way through.

Learning to read has been reduced to a process of
mastering a series of narrow, specific, hierarchical
skills. Where armed-forces recruits learn the
components of a rifle or the intricacies of close
order drill ''by the numbers,'' recruits to reading
learn its mechanics sound by sound and word by word.
-- Jacquelyn Gross
The
unread story is not a story; it is little black
marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it
live: a live thing, a story.
