Janet Potter Quote

You should read the book that you hear two booksellers arguing about at the registers while you’re browsing in a bookstore.* You should read the book that you see someone on the train reading and trying to hide that they’re laughing.* You should read the book that you see someone on the train reading and trying to hide that they’re crying.* You should read the book that you find left behind in the airplane seat pocket, on a park bench, on the bus, at a restaurant, or in a hotel room.* You should read the book that you see someone reading for hours in a coffee shop — there when you got there and still there when you left — that made you envious because you were working instead of absorbed in a book.* You should read the book you find in your grandparents’ house that’s inscribed To Ray, all my love, Christmas 1949.* You should read the book that you didn’t read when it was assigned in your high school English class. You’d probably like it better now anyway.* You should read the book whose author happened to mention on Charlie Rose that their favorite band is your favorite band.* You should read the book that your favorite band references in their lyrics.* You should read the book that your history professor mentions and then says, which, by the way, is a great book, offhandedly.* You should read the book that you loved in high school. Read it again.* You should read the book that you find on the library’s free cart whose cover makes you laugh.* You should read the book whose main character has your first name.* You should read the book whose author gets into funny Twitter exchanges with Colson Whitehead.* You should read the book about your hometown’s history that was published by someone who grew up there.* You should read the book your parents give you for your high school graduation.* You should read the book you’ve started a few times and keep meaning to finish once and for all.* You should read books with characters you don’t like.* You should read books about countries you’re about to visit.* You should read books about historical events you don’t know anything about.* You should read books about things you already know a little about.* You should read books you can’t stop hearing about and books you’ve never heard of.* You should read books mentioned in other books.* You should read prize-winners, bestsellers, beach reads, book club picks, and classics, when you want to.[
