Students didn't even read books anymore, thought Arthur. They dispensed with design and layout and cover art and illustrations and reduced reading to nothing but a stream of text in whatever font and size they chose. Reading without books, thought Arthur, was like playing cricket without dressing in white. It could be done, but why? Charlie Lovett
About This Quote

It seems like there is no time for reading anymore. Everyone is busy with the internet, homework, work, school, sports, and chores. Reading can be so much fun and it makes you feel like you are really getting smarter. You get into a book, read the first few pages then wait to see what happens next.

Then wait some more to see what happens after that. Then you might get hooked on to the story and stay up late to finish the book. Reading is one of the best things you can do for yourself because it will make you smarter and stronger in many ways.

When you decide to read a book, nothing else matters except the book itself.
