“The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.”

~ Elizabeth Hardwick

Bookloving author and publisher

“I think when a reader reads a whole book - which takes six to ten hours - that’s kind of a gift to the author. The gift of close, undivided attention. To who else do we listen so closely for eight straight hours? And when readers give that gift to me, I’m grateful for it.. A piece of writing has to seduce the reader, it has to suspend disbelief and earn the reader’s trust.”

~ Po Bronson

Seriously, Read a Book!

“It was no good being a mother. She wanted to start a website, a public-awareness campaign, a newsletter, to get the word out that if you were a woman and you had a child, you lost everything, you would be held hostage by love: A terrorist who would only be satisfied when you surrendered your entire future.” – pg 199
