“No fiction is worth reading except for entertainment. If it entertains and is clean, it is good literature, or its kind. If it forms the habit of reading, in people who might not read otherwise, it is the best literature.”

“There's no better way to inform and expand you mind on a regular basis than to get into the habit of reading good literature.”

“I learned to write reading North American literature, I love your literature, but I have this feeling that if a country only reads its own literature, it will run out of oxygen.”

“Reading ideas improves,
reading stories entertains,
reading the news informs,
reading books teaches,
reading the song rhymes”

“In theory it was, around now, Literature. Susan hated Literature. She'd much prefer to read a good book.”

“I do not feel obliged in my reading. I read to be entertained and to relax, and to go into another world, not because it's good for me.”

“The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.”

“Teenagers read millions of books every year. They read for entertainment and for education. They read because of school assignments and pop culture fads.”

“Oh! journalism is unreadable, and literature is not read.”

“Read everything. Read fiction and non-fiction, read hot best sellers and the classics you never got around to in college.”
