Reading
It's not that I don't like people. It's just that when I'm in the company of others even my nearest and dearest there always comes a moment when I'd rather be reading a book.
不是我不喜欢别人。只是当我和其他人在一起的时候，即使是我最亲密的人，总会有那么一刻我宁愿看书。
Historical novels are, without question, the best way of teaching history, for they offer the human stories behind the events and leave the reader with a desire to know more.

The first time I read an excellent work, it is to me just as if I gained a new friend; and when I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting of an old one.

Mostly, I was only interested in television as a kid, and the majority of reading material I collected was an adjunct to that central concern, comic books and magazines included.

Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
