Reading is the most important thing you can do to become a
better writer, raise all your grades, improve your S.A.T. scores and make your
life better. All other school work is secondary to constant, challenging,
thoughtful reading. Without it, you're just treading water.
"The man who hasn't read good books has no
advantage over the man who can't read them." Mark Twain
“I think it would be very wicked indeed to do
anything to fit a boy for the modern world.”
Evelyn
Waugh (Scott-King’s Modern Europe, 1947)
“You’ll be surprised at what you can do.”
John
Grady Cole in All the Pretty Horses (Cormac McCarthy, 1992)
