What is
important is not to be able to read rapidly, but to be able
to decide what not to read.
-- James T. Mccay
The book to
read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which
makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for
that.
-- Mccosh
Any book that

The chief
knowledge that a man gets from reading books is the
knowledge that very few of them are worth reading.
-- H. L. Mencken
1880-1956, American Editor,
Author, Critic, Humorist
There are
people who read too much: bibliobibuli. I know some who are
constantly drunk on books, as other men are drunk on whiskey
or religion. They wander through this most diverting and
stimulating of worlds in a haze, seeing nothing and hearing
nothing.
-- H. L. Mencken
1880-1956, American Editor,
Author, Critic, Humorist
There are two
kinds of books. Those that no one reads and those that no
one ought to read.
-- H. L. Mencken
1880-1956, American Editor,
Author, Critic, Humorist
A person who
publishes a book appears willfully in public with his pants
down.
-- Edna St. Vincent Millay
1892-1950, American Poet
