reading [Theme] Page 44

Philologist - a teacher of slow reading.

... for a man accustomed to reading, it becomes a drug, and that he was his slave. Try to take away his books, and he will become dark, twitchy and restless, and then, like the alcoholic who, if left without the alcohol, pounced on the shelves.

I read, and reading has weird effects on me. Something long ago re-read and read again and seemed to tense up new forces, to delve into everything, clearly understand, and he recovered the ability to create.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

Reading gives a person the possibility of escape, because opening the book, I'm immersed in it without a trace. This is the only reason in childhood I ran away from home.

Pick up your calendar;
Read not like Sexton,
And with feeling, with properly, with deliberation.

Her no sleep from the French books
I from Russian painful sleep.

Rare, we can say, the pleasure these days to meet someone who has something to read.
