About This Quote

The books that everybody admires are those that nobody reads. This quote is a reference to the fact that the people who most admire certain works of literature are not necessarily the ones who read them. This can be attributed to many factors, including the fact that good books are often difficult to find. A work of challenging literature may not sell well because it is not easily accessible by people who are not familiar with it.

Even if they do buy it, however, they may not have enough time or ability to read it. This is why many people admire the books that everybody reads - because they stand out from the rest in some way.
