Good Reads Quotes

“El verano que ella llegó con parte del contenido del baúl de los libros mágicos del tío Marcos, tenía alrededor de diez años y todavía Pedro Tercero leía con dificultad, pero la curiosidad y el anhelo consiguieron lo que no había podido obtener la maestra a varillazos. Pasaron el verano leyendo acostados entre las cañas del río, entre los pinos del bosque, entre las espigas de los trigales, discutiendo las virtudes de Sandokan y Robin Hood, la mala suerte del Pirata Negro, las historias verídicas y edificantes del 'Tesoro de la Juventud', el malicioso significado de las palabras prohibidas en el diccionario de la Real Academia de la Lengua Española, el sistema cardiovascular en láminas, donde podían ver a un tipo sin pellejo, con todas sus venas y el corazón expuestos a la vista, pero con calzones. En pocas semanas el niño aprendió a leer con voracidad. Entraron en el mundo ancho y profundo de las historias imposibles, los duendes, las hadas, los náufragos que se comen unos a otros después de echarlo a la suerte, los tigres que se dejan amaestrar por amor, los inventos fascinantes, las curiosidades geográficas y zoológicas, los países orientales donde hay genios en las botellas, dragones en las cuevas y princesas prisioneras en las torres.”

“While much of modern behavioral and social science treats individuals as autonomous agents, it is absolutely clear that the way we think and act is enormously influenced by the culture in which we live. It also is clear that the major elements of modern culture-science, technology, law, music, and religion-have evolved over time in a quite concrete sense of the term. Mesoudi makes these arguments very well and his book is a very good read.”

“I try to write about complex issues--young people in an adult world-- full of irony and contradiction in a narrative style that relies heavily on suspense with a texture rich in emotion and imagery. I take a great deal of satisfaction in using popular forms-- the adventure, the mystery, the thriller-- so as to hold my reader with the sheer pleasure of a good story. At the same time I try to resolve my books with an ambiguity that compels engagement. In short, I want my readers to feel, to think, sometimes to laugh. But most of all I want them to enjoy a good read.”

“I Need a Good Book I need a good story. I need a good book. The kind that explodes Off the shelf. I need some good writing, Alive and exciting, To contemplate all by myself. I need a good novel, I need a good read. I probably need Two or three. I need a good tale Of love and betrayal Or perhaps an adventure at sea. I need a good saga. I need a good yarn. A momentous and mightily Or slight one. But with thousands and thousands And thousands of books, I need someone to tell me The right one. -John Lithgow”

“We are in a great school, and we should be diligent to learn, and continue to store up the knowledge of heaven and of earth, and read good books, although I cannot say that I would recommend the reading of all books, for it is not all books which are good. Read good books, and extract from them wisdom and understanding as much as you possibly can, aided by the Spirit of God. (JD 12:124)”

“A rollicking good read-THE HUNTER is steampunk with a Wild West feel. Theresa Meyers is an entertaining and witty writer with a fresh, new voice in the genre. THE HUNTER is a fun-filled ride through a world of demons, vampires, and things that go bump in the night, and kept me turning pages until the very end.”
