Great quotations this week. I, to my shame a bit, do judge people by the books they read. And if they don't read at all our relationship is doomed.
ReplyDeleteSo you agree with the quote, Janet? So do I! As long as people judge others for the clothes they wear, the car they drive or the amount of money they have, I think we can judge them for the books they read (or not) because that says a lot more about a person.
