Do you have favorite quotations about books? I have several. Here are some good ones, some things to ponder, and my ponderings on each one.
'Classic.' A book which people praise and don't read. ~Mark Twain
I relate to this one, because of all the books I was assigned in high school and college (especially college) that were "classics" that bored me to death. I decided after I got my Bachelors in English that I had no wish to pursue a Masters or Ph.D. in literature, because I was so tired of professors dictating to me what I need to read. I never did by the Nortons. I never will. I got my degree in Education instead, and enjoy 10+ years of teaching English at a community college, where I helped other people write and appreciate books - classics or not.
