I thought, well I can do that. I couldn't be bothered writing a book review, because I'd have to read the book, I haven't got time to read a whole book for a fifty dollar write-up. |

A book has got smell. A new book smells great. An old book smells even better. An old book smells like ancient Egypt. |

I heard about the book and I said, 'Oh my god, I've got to read this book,' and I didn't know that a white woman wrote it. Nobody said that to me, they just said, 'The Help - Oh my god, you've got to read it.' Everyone failed to mention it was a white woman, I think, because nobody really wants to talk about race. |

Everyone's clamoring for the fourth book in the 'Fifty Shades' trilogy, which makes me laugh. Just the part of 'a fourth book in trilogy' that makes me laugh, not the clamoring for the next book. |

When a writer declares that his first book is his best, that is bad. I progress successively from book to book. |

I have also written a book about the Giving of the Torah, and a book on the Days of Awe, and a book on the books of Israel that have been written since the day the Torah was given to Israel. |

I often read nonfiction with a pencil in hand. I love the feel, the smell, the design, the weight of a book, but I also enjoy the convenience of my Kindle - for travel and for procuring a book in seconds. |

I struggled to kick the habit - I would make a decision to give up smoking, but it was hard. I couldn't resist the urge to steal a smoke. It was at that time that I was gifted Allen Carr's book 'The Easy Way to Stop Smoking.' After I read that book, I didn't touch a fag again. |

If I like a book, I tend to read the author's entire collection. But I choose mainly through personal recommendations, general word of mouth and book reviews. |

At the end of the day, I'm just trying to write a song that I like, that I'm not afraid to turn loose on the world. I do read a lot. I know a lot of people who read more, but I do try to keep a book in my hand most of the time, and I think that informs any kind of output that I'm going to have. |

Read a book that you love again. If it's the second or third time, try to think about what kind of world the author believes in and how their writing reflects that belief.

You should read that book. It's pretty weird. Pretty short too.

Had a dream that Nas's album It Was Written was a book and it was one of Hip Hop's Gospels as if he were a prophet. The other book that immediately comes to mind is the gospel of hip hop by KRS One

I had a dream that I was asleep and there was this red spider in my bed. I woke up and I saw it and knew I had a book that described it. The book said that the venom could kill people and that it could bite you without you feeling it. So then I was disappointed because I had to go to the doctor. There was also someone else there but I don't know who it was.

If you read it, it sounds like she really wants this guy to kill himself. Then at the end, you read it and its like... is she serious or is she just trying to cover it up. I don't know but she got a 2.5-year sentence.

The Berenstein Bears: We Are Living in Our Own Parallel Universe
When I was growing up, all through elementary school we would watch movies and read books about the Berenstein Bears. I still even remember the theme song for the TV show, mostly, which wasn't a song so much as a guy in a gruff bear voice speaking in rhyming couplets. If you don't know who the Berenstein Bears are, they were nuclear family of anthropomorphic bears who lived in a tree out in Bear Country and had family-based situational comedy and taught life lessons. And Ma Bear always wore a blue shower cap.
These bears appeared in a series of children books by the married Stan and Jan Berenstein, that later became a TV s...

If you want to read something dark, read the text messages of a teenage girl who convinced a kid to kill himself: https://htv-prod-media.s3.amazonaws.com/files/carter-exhibit-30-1497356322.pdf
She keeps texting him for two months after he died. She planned out his suicide and told him what to do. But she also loves him? I have no idea what this girl was thinking.
