There is something wonderful about a book. We can pick it up. We can heft it. We can read it. We can set it down. We can think of what we have read. It does something for us. We can share great minds, great actions, and great undertakings in the pages of a book. Gordon B. Hinckley
About This Quote

A book is one of the most amazing things we can find. It is a form of knowledge, wisdom, and power. Some people even go as far as to say that a book can change the world. There is nothing like a good book to open the mind and spur the imagination.

Books are amazing and if we take time to read them, we will be amazed at all they can teach us. The only question we need to ask ourselves before we do anything else is: “What book am I going to read today?”
