“What an astonishing
thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on
which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and
you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of
years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside
your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human
inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of
distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans
are capable of working magic.” Carl Sagan
"Reading is the
sole means by which we slip, involuntarily, often helplessly, into another’s
skin, another’s voice, another’s soul." Joyce Carol Oates
"Be awesome! Be a
book nut!"
Dr. Seuss
