Why We Read

A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.

    I’d say, IF it is a truly great book, you’ll enjoy reading it once in youth, again in maturity, and at last in old age 🙂

    There’s nothing sadder than outgrowing a favorite book!

      For me, even if I’ve outgrown it, I can still appreciate what it was to me at another time.
