When Did You Last Read a Book?

Most of the new knowledge and all the old knowledge is from books.

When did you last read a book? Are you reading a book,—a real, solid, important knowledge-giving book, new or old? You mean to read books. You used to read books when you were young and the cares of life had not come. You read magazines and papers. Both may be necessary.

But the man and woman who read no books are cutting off growth, refusing knowledge, and living a dwarfed life. Begin on some book. It makes little difference which, as long as it is one of the books all know they ought to read, expect to read, and never have read.—Anon.
