“This book is to be read in bed.”

“All good and true book-lovers practice the pleasing and improving avocation of reading in bed… No book can be appreciated until it has been slept with and dreamed over.”

“Ballycumber (ba-li-KUM-ber) n.
One of the six half-read books lying somewhere in your bed.”

“you're rich in love
you're great bed
you'll see the world
you'll knock 'em dead
and all the thick books that you've read
will count for nothing in the end”

“The truth is that I hate to think about other people reading my books," Miranda said. "It's like watching someone go through the box of private stuff that I keep under my bed.”

“It's in being read that a book becomes a book, and in each of a million different readings a book become one of a million different books…”

“You cannot be afraid, Read the book. Smile at it. It's a great book-the greatest book you've ever read.”

“Read. Read. Read. Just don't read one type of book. Read different books by various authors so that you develop different style.”

“Reading is like the sex act — done privately, and often in bed. ”

“I always keep four or five books on my bed table, and each night I read a little of each; I guess I can't concentrate on any one at a time. But I always finish them.”
