People are reading news for free on the web, that's got to change.
When I was young, my parents had a library in our living room. I was always free to browse and read.
I believe aphorisms are best when first read in the wild, free from the confines of any categories.
But then anyone who's worth anything reads just what he likes, as the mood takes him, and with extravagant enthusiasm.
Read widely, and without apology. Read what you want to read, not what someone tells you you should read.
Elsevier operates by racket: if you do not send money, you will not read any papers. On my website, any person can read as many papers as they want for free, and sending donations is their free will. Why Elsevier cannot work like this, I wonder?
Kids should read whatever they want to read. So I'm hoping that just like 15-year-olds read "Summer Sisters," I'm hoping that they'll read this.
My childhood may have been more demented than most, because I learned to read very early and was allowed to read whatever I wanted.
I want the public as well as libraries and schools to enjoy unlimited access to public-domain books. This means no charges for these kind of texts themselves.
All reading for pleasure is entertainment.
Free and fair access to books - to reading - is a right and one we should fight for.
Read at whim! Read at whim!
I spent lots of time reading the encyclopedia and really kind of an eclectic approach to learning things - not very structured.
I used to take five or six books away and bring five or six books back. Nobody gave me direction or advice and I read much in the way that a boy might watch television.
I believe in any kid's ability to read any book and form their own judgements. It's the job of a parent to guide his/her child through the reading of every book imaginable. Censorship of any form punishes curiosity.
