This is why we read novels: they give us the comfortable feeling of being in a world where the concept of truth is undeniable, while the real world is a much less reliable place... Reading a literary text, we escape from the anxiety that overcomes us when we try to say something true about the world around us... This has always been the function of myth: to impart form, structure to the chaos of human experience.
Umberto Eco
A librocubicularist is a person who reads in bed.
Why do people listen to songs? Why do people read books? To forget for a while, to escape from yourself. A good book, a good song, they drown out your inner voice.

It's like you step out of your body and become someone else. Douglas Copeland.

Arthur Schopenhauer
Everyone needs to read. From a three-year-old girl to a decrepit old man. If you are wondering why read books, because there is the Internet, movies and music, then it is either too early or too late for you to start reading books. A person is formed by knowledge, knowledge of himself. And with this, like nothing else, a book helps. Whether it is good or bad, it is beneficial. A bad book makes you appreciate a good one, and a good book helps you see the bad in yourself. Everyone needs to read, always and everywhere.
There is magic in every book.
I looked for peace everywhere and found it in only one place - in the corner, with a book. Umberto Eco
By reading good books, we water the flowers that grow within us.
My problem with reading books is that I am constantly distracted... by other books.
The best moments in reading are when you find a thought, a feeling, a perspective on things that seem special and close to you. And here they are, expressed by someone else, someone you have never met, perhaps long dead. It was as if someone's hand reached out and touched yours.
Reading good books is a conversation with the best people of the past, and, moreover, such a conversation when they tell us their best thoughts.
As a child, I believed that a book was a plant from a wonderful land, because it had leaves and a spine. A thick root and many leaves - a tree. A thin book without pictures is grass, but with pictures it is a flower. And before going to bed, I often thought: what kind of wizard digs up all the books and brings them to us?
Books are the doors that lead you out of four walls.... They teach you, educate you, with them you travel, dream, imagine, live other lives, and multiply yours a thousand times.
The reader lives a thousand lives before he dies
A person who never reads lives only one life.
The advantage of books... is that the lives, stories, thoughts contained in them become yours; When you close a book, you are no longer the same person you were when you opened it. Some pages are written by very smart people, and if you can read with humility, patience and a desire to learn, they will never disappoint you. Even the ununderstood lies in some distant recess of your head - for the future, which will give it meaning and turn it into something beautiful or useful. Arturo Perez-Reverte | Queen of the South.
Every book has a soul. The soul of the one who wrote it, and the souls of those who read and experienced it, and dreamed over it. Carlos Ruiz Zafon. "Shadow of the Wind"
When there are no friends to chat with, a book is always ready to talk to you, bring you some amazing news, brighten up your boring life with an amazing picture. Diana Duane.
When you read, it’s as if a whole world is being created in your head. And your own world, you know? It doesn’t depend on anyone or anything - neither on directors, nor on actors, nor on budgets, nor on special effects - only on you!
How should it be read? If a book captivates us, then the first time we read it quickly and enthusiastically. We just devour the pages. But in the future (and a good book is read and re-read many times) you need to read it with a pencil in your hand. Nothing shapes taste and correctness of judgment more than the habit of writing out a passage you like or marking a deep thought. You need to promise yourself not to miss anything when reading writers you truly appreciate.
Each person has his own book. It’s as if the books know in advance whose life they are about to enter, how to guess their person, how to teach him a lesson, how to make him smile, and just when it’s needed.
A book is another adventure you have experienced.
I dream of an endless supply of books. Exactly those that you will definitely like, those in whose worlds you will “live”.
Don’t be discouraged and remember - when things get hard, pick up a book and read.
In bed you can do whatever pleases both of you. Even read.
Only books can save, only in them can one find sympathy, consolation, and love... Books, without demanding anything in return, love everyone who opens them. They never leave even those who do not care about them.
When we read a good book for the first time, we experience the same feeling as when we make a new friend. Reading a book again means seeing an old friend again.
By reading good books, we water the flowers that grow within us.
Books can take you to distant lands, make you laugh or cry. They can tell you about worlds that you would never find yourself in in reality. The books are wonderful.
I only reread what is worthy of this honor.
What is worthy of this? - Bernat suddenly seemed to turn into Adria.
The ability to captivate the reader. Make you admire the smart thoughts that are in the book, or the beauty that comes from it. Despite the fact that rereading by its very nature contains a contradiction.
What do you mean, Isaiah? - asked Aunt Alina.
A book that is not worthy of being reread is certainly not worthy of being read at all. - He looked at the guests. - You asked if they wanted tea? - Berlin looked at the book and immediately forgot about his role as the owner. He continued: “But until we read the book, we don’t know whether it is worthy of being read again.” Life is a harsh thing.
Jaume Cabret - I confess.
Books are friends, dispassionate but faithful. Victor Hugo. Les Misérables.
They say that books come to life at night... So, where was the tale of the three little mice?
Why do you need so many books?
To absorb them.
Jaume Cabret - I confess.
One of the most common types of meditation is as follows: you find a place where no one will distract you; set aside a time during which you will do only meditation; take a comfortable position and choose something (a point on the wall, the feeling of the abdominal wall moving while breathing, an internal image) that you will hold throughout this time. If your attention wanders away from the chosen object, you gently return it. Jon Kabat-Zin, one of the most famous modern meditation teachers, compares it to training a puppy. You sit the puppy on the mat and tell him, “Sit.” When he gets bored and goes off to wander, you return him to the mat and again tell him: “Sit,” and so on until he understands that this is where he belongs. What am I talking about? And the fact that the way we read fiction is in many ways very similar to meditation.
In the same way, we reduce the number of external stimuli and throw pressing thoughts out of our heads, we also focus (on the thin stream of words flowing into our consciousness), and if attention begins to wander, we gently return it to what we are reading. In terms of content, meditation and reading achieve opposite effects: meditation “empties” the mind, while reading “fills” it. But attention functions in a very similar way in both. This means that both of these activities are an excellent antidote to the epidemic of multitasking that has swept the world.
)))
Learning to immerse ourselves in a work - to suspend disbelief in the unusual and truly surrender to the power of the author's gaze - without this we will never be able to go beyond the boundaries of the history and way of perceiving the world imposed on us from childhood.
You know better how best to waste your time and money. I’ll stay at home and read, because life is short.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon - Playing an Angel
