Book Quote for 08/27/09

“The road to knowledge begins with the turn of the page.” Anonymous





You would think that, with me being unemployed for over six months, I would have more posts for you. Job hunting has taken a large chunk of my time. Also, I have gotten back into knitting, so I have some knitting book recommendations. All in all, I have really just reread some old favorites and complained at a few authors for not at least letting me(the world) know about when the next book will be out. Okay, just one, and only because my mother dearly would love to read the next book.

Don’t join the book burners. Don’t think you’re going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed. Don’t be afraid to go in your library and read every book…
Dwight D. Eisenhower

All of the presidents of this country have some amazing quotes, some just sing truer to my heart and soul.

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.
Oscar Wilde

I often have been asked what I do with my books once I have finished reading them. My answer: Keep them on a bookshelf to be reread at my leisure. You know I found it a truly awful book if I get rid of it.

Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou is one of my heroes. I especially love her poem about what a woman should be able to do through out her life.
