“Reading was my first solitary vice (and led to all others). I read while I ate, I read in the loo, I read in the bath. When I was supposed to be sleeping, I was reading.”

“I read like a wolf eats.
I read myself to sleep every night.”

Gary Paulsen (1939) American writer and musher

“I read a book twice as fast as anybody else. First, I read the beginning, and then I read the ending, and then I start in the middle and read toward whatever end I like best.”

Gracie Allen (1902–1964) American actress and comedienne

“That I can read and be happy while I am reading, is a great blessing.”

Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) English novelist (1815-1882)

“Read, read, read. That's all I can say.”

Carolyn Keene book The Secret of the Old Clock

“I just read and read and read. … I have always enjoyed reading.”

Warren Buffett (1930) American business magnate, investor, and philanthropist

“I must read.
I must read.
I must read.”

Mark Z. Danielewski book House of Leaves

“I read my books at night, like that, under the quilt with the overheated reading lamp. Reading all those good lines while suffocating. It was magic.”

Charles Bukowski (1920–1994) American writer

“If I couldn't sleep, I could read.”

Gail Carson Levine Ella Enchanted

“When I read a book, I put in all the imagination I can, so that it is almost like writing the book as well as reading it - or rather, it is like living it. It makes reading so much more exciting, but I don't suppose many people try to do it.”

Dodie Smith book I Capture the Castle
