"Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention." Francis Bacon
Some great advice.
"A wonderful thing about a book, in contrast to a computer screen, is that you can take it to bed with you." Daniel J. Boorstin
This one made me chuckle. Just imagine yourself in bed with a computer screen.
"If only you'd remember before ever you sit down to write that you've been a reader long before you were ever a writer." J.D. Salinger
I wish every author would remember it, I wish J.D. Salinger had remembered it.

Good ones. Actually I do take my iPad to bed sometimes. Ha Ha.
ReplyDeleteNope, I sometimes take my phone so I can read messages but I don't like to read much on a screen. But I always take a book everywhere.
