We love to buy books because we believe we're buying the time to read

About This Quote

We love to buy books because we believe we're buying the time to read. We can't help ourselves. We all know that reading is good for our minds and our spirits. It's a way of connecting with other human beings, and it's also a great way to find out about the world.

But why do we fall so easily for the fiction section, and not the nonfiction section? We all like reality sometimes, but I think we like to live in a place where we can pretend that things aren't as bad as they really are. So we might as well buy books that take us there, and even send us on vacations, and make us feel better about ourselves.
