About This Quote
If people only read books like How to Lose Weight, they will not find the entertainment they seek. When times are tough, it is nice to escape to another world where everything is perfect. To read a book like How to Lose Weight would make people feel trapped in reality and trapped in their own body. Some people need escape and fantasy now and then, but if they want what they seek, they need to read something that will take them away for a few hours.
