But a week is a long time by today's standards, when information is available at the touch of a finger. We're being sold the idea that information is learning, and we're being sold a bill of goods. Knowing the area of the state of Connecticut or the jumping capacity of a flea may be useful, but it isn't learning of itself. The greatest of all avenues to learning to wisdom, adventure, pleasure, insight, to understanding human nature, understanding ourselves and our world and our place in it is in reading books. Read for life, all your life.
Nothing ever invented provides such sustenance, such infinite reward for time spent, as a good book.
Read to your heart's content. Let one book lead to another. They nearly always do. Read those books you know you're supposed to have read and imagine as dreary. A classic may be defined as a book that stays long in print, and a book stays long in print only because it is exceptional.
