The Reader's Bill of Rights and other reading stuff

"Time spent reading, like time spent loving, increases our lifetime."

"A well-chosen book saves you from everything, including yourself."

"Le verbe "lire" ne supporte pas  l’impératif. Aversion qu'il aime partager avec quelques autres;  le verbe "aimer"... le verbe "rêver"..." 

"We keep quiet about what we read. Our enjoyment of a book remains a jealously guarded secret. Because there's no need to talk, or because it takes time to distill what we've read before we say anything. Silence is our guarantee of intimacy. We might have finished reading but we're still reading the book."
