Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel like I've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself.

Reading is grist. Reading is bliss.

Most persons are so absorbed in the contemplation of the outside world that they are wholly oblivious to what is passing on within themselves.
