Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
In the words of Rupaul Charles: This week, I am serving you… Ten book quotes about reading (the last bit probably wasn’t in the style of Rupaul, but I like to keep things PG on here).
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.
George R. R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons
Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.
Lemony Snicket, Horseradish
We read to know we’re not alone.
William Nicholson, Shadowlands
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut
What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much though.
J. D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
Books are a uniquely portable magic.
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry
Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel
Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
You get a little moody sometimes but I think that’s because you like to read. People that like to read are always a little f***ed up.
Pat Conroy, The Prince of Tides

Great minds think alike! I did the same topic and used the same TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD quote. Quotes on books and reading always speak to me 🙂
Happy TTT!
