Books Quote by Celeste Ng
“As a historically voracious reader - pre-baby, I averaged a book every week or two, and when I was a kid, I'd routinely read a book a day - I never understood how some people could not read. When I heard people say they didn't have time to read, in my head, I simultaneously pitied and ridiculed them: there was always time to read.”

![“No time spent with a book is ever entirely wasted, even if the experience is not a happy one: there’s always something to be learned. It’s just that, every now and again, you can hit a patch of reading that makes you feel as if you’re pootling about. [...] But what can you do about it? We don’t…” quote by Nick Hornby](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/fed/nick-hornby-325_book_no-time-spent-with-a-book-is-ever-entire_726111.jpg)
