Overview

""Let blockheads read what blockheads write,"" suggested Lord Chesterfield. W. H. Auden once said, ""Some books are undeservedly forgotten; none are undeservedly remembered."" And TV celebrity Jerry Seinfeld noted: ""The big advantage of a book is that it's very easy to rewind. Close it and you're right back at the beginning."" Over 450 memorable quotes about books and reading fill these pages-with provocative declarations from Mark Twain, Virginia Woolf, Andrew Carnegie, Theodore Roosevelt, James Thurber, Anna Quindlen, and Oprah Winfrey, and scores of other writers, political figures, and celebrities. A handy aid for speech writers and public speakers, this entertaining collection will also delight general readers.
