I’ve never canceled a subscription to a newspaper because of bad cartoons or editorials. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have any newspapers or magazines to read.

If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. There’s no way around these two things that I’m aware of, no shortcut.

I know that some books and some writers, you can pretty much draw a square around it and say, ‚Nobody under 40,‘ or ‚Nobody under 25.‘ With my books, it always has been, and continues to be, spread right across the board, and I think the operative term is ‚reader.‘

You have to have really wide reading habits and pay attention to the news and just everything that’s going on in the world: you need to. If you get this right, then the writing is a piece of cake.

Electronic books are junk.

Given how few young people actually read the newspaper, it’s a good thing they’ll be reading a newspaper on a screen.

I read a lot. I enjoy reading a lot.

I’ve just always been a reader.

I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.

It is hard to read a newspaper or watch a television newscast without encountering someone who has come up with a new ‚solution‘ to society’s ‚problems.‘

I don’t read books much.

Some people think literature is high culture and that it should only have a small readership. I don’t think so… I have to compete with popular culture, including TV, magazines, movies and video games.

Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper.

I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring.

When I was seven or eight years old, I began to read the science-fiction magazines that were brought by guests into my grandparents‘ boarding house in Waukegan, Illinois. Those were the years when Hugo Gernsback was publishing ‚Amazing Stories,‘ with vivid, appallingly imaginative cover paintings that fed my hungry imagination.

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.

I’ve read everything Thomas Wolfe ever wrote; my brother and I memorized whole chapters of ‚You Can’t Go Home Again‘ and ‚Look Homeward, Angel.‘

One Ad is worth more to a paper than forty Editorials.

I’m not well-read, but when I read, I read well.

People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.

I read a lot when I’m travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

When my book ‚Rich Dad’s Prophecy‘ was released in 2002, most financial newspapers and magazines trashed it because I discussed a looming stock market crash.

My advice is this. For Christ’s sake, don’t write a book that is suitable for a kid of 12 years old, because the kids who read who are 12 years old are reading books for adults. I read all of the James Bond books when I was about 11, which was approximately the right time to read James Bond books.

How well he’s read, to reason against reading!

I’m an early riser. I get up between five and six, have coffee, and read for a couple of hours before everyone else gets up.

After one has been in prison, it is the small things that one appreciates: being able to take a walk whenever one wants, going into a shop and buying a newspaper, speaking or choosing to remain silent. The simple act of being able to control one’s person.

I don’t generally read a lot of fiction.

The multitude of books is making us ignorant.

Whether I’m at the office, at home, or on the road, I always have a stack of books I’m looking forward to reading.

Once you publish a book, it is out of your control. You cannot dictate how people read it.

I cannot live without books.

Right after 9-11, as far as I know, one newspaper in the United States had the integrity to investigate opinion in the Muslim world: the ‚Wall Street Journal.‘

Whatever came to mind, whatever came to hand, I would read.

Editor: a person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed.

The myth that everyone once read great literature is just a myth.

I don’t generally read reviews.

Ebooks had to happen.

A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.

‚Recreative‘ is a word that I invented because in urban culture, with colloquialism, we invent so many slangs. I don’t like the way that ‚recreational‘ sounds – I don’t like to say I do a lot of ‚recreational‘ reading. I like to say that I read ‚recreatively.‘ I do a lot of ‚recreative‘ reading.

I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.

I read all the time, and I’m often struck by something I’m reading.

Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

I’ve read a lot of books on the laws of attraction, and in my home, I have a big book on Muhammad Ali, which I’ve read because he is, like, a hero of mine, but other than that, no, I’m not a big reader.

To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I’ve got books I need to read.

Miss a meal if you have to, but don’t miss a book.

Newspaper readership is still growing in India.

It is the advertiser who provides the paper for the subscriber. It is not to be disputed, that the publisher of a newspaper in this country, without a very exhaustive advertising support, would receive less reward for his labor than the humblest mechanic.

I’m a bookworm. I know with my physical appearance that I don’t look like the typical reader. I’m in Barnes & Noble all the time, and you can look at people that look like they are supposed to be in there. I am in there, pants sagging, hat backwards.

My cash cows, the slick magazines, were put out of business by TV.
