[When] he's here, he's always reading. He says books stop time. I myself think he's crazy...Don't tell anyone, but when he reads something that he likes he gets real happy, turns on the music, and dances by himself, or with a broom sometimes.

Read what you find interesting, and then follow your interests. You'll find that in doing so you always generate enough to illuminate the next step.

I read. The more you read, the more the world opens up to you... and the happier you are and more comforted you feel. It's up to you. No you is educated who cannot educate himself.

Nobody steals books except kleptomaniacs and university students. In most places you can leave a book on the street and come back for in the next day.
