it.

I have read
your book and much like it.

The greatest
gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles,
it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the
world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral
illumination.
-- Elizabeth Hardwick
1916-, American Novelist
Books give not
wisdom where none was before. But where some is, there
reading makes it more.
-- John Harington

In a real
sense, people who have read good literature have lived more
than people who cannot or will not read. It is not true that
we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live
as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.
-- S. I. Hayakawa
1902-1992, Canadian Born
American Senator, Educator
If I have not
read a book before, it is, for all intents and purposes, new
to me whether it was printed yesterday or three hundred
years ago.
-- William Hazlitt
1778-1830, British Essayist
All good books
are alike in that they are truer than if they had really
happened and after you are finished reading one you will
feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all
belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the
remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the
weather was.
-- Ernest Hemingway
1898-1961, American Writer
The good parts
of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to
overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life --and
one is as good as the other.
-- Ernest Hemingway
1898-1961, American Writer
