About This Quote
When people ask you to read a book, they want you to have the time to do so. They do not want you to be hungry for the book because it is impossible to read until you are full. People who are hungry are always searching for that one book that is going to make them happy. They are always searching for that one book that is going to make them feel completely fulfilled and give their life meaning.
