Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.

So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning

Biggest turn off: Illiteracy

It makes me so sad when I bring up books or reading and someone responds along the lines of "I don't read". It is so degrading to our generation. I would not date a guy that 'doesn't read'.
What do you think about these kind of people, the ones that make remarks such as "Reading is so boring!"?
It's a small, uncomfortable world.
