Quotes #342/343/344

A three bagger today. Since I am an avid reader, and I am re-reading 'The Books You Read' by Charles T Jones, thought I'd share 3 very good quotes about reading. As a further comment, this book is pretty cool... it has many famous people sharing what book they'd recommend you must read, and why.

Quote #342...
"A man who buys a book is not just buying a few ounces of paper, glue, and printers ink; he may be buying a whole new life."
-Emerson-

Many a good book has been the turning point in peoples lives.

Quote #343...
"There is a great deal of difference between the eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read."
-G.K. Chesterton-

One wants to learn, while the other may be looking to fall asleep.

Quote #344...
"A man's reading program should be as carefully planned as his daily diet, for that too is food, without which he cannot grow mentally."
-Andrew Carnegie-

We are what we eat, read, watch, listen to, and hang out with. Choose good quality reading materials. Your brain will thank you for it.

That's my view...what say you?
