It’s okay to not like a classic book. It's okay to not like a bestselling book. It’s okay to highlight and write inside a book. It's okay to skip pages in a book. It's okay to read multiple books. It’s okay to not finish a book. Read whatever you want, however you want.

Clavicular explaining why he doesn't read books is foolish: "I don't really read books...you could just get the information through summaries and articles." Thinking that a book summary can replace reading a book is like thinking a movie trailer can replace watching a movie.

Carl Sagan on books: "What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years."

Every few years a new silly speed-reading hack becomes popular, here's the latest one: It's called Quantum Speed-Reading (QSR). How does it work? The faster you flip through a book, the faster you 'read' it. Using QSR, kids can 'read' 100,000 words in 5 minutes. Yumiko Tobitani, the creator of QSR, presented no scientific evidence for her method. Instead, she says that "when a book is flipped through at high speed the words are transformed into images and come out as pictures," and that flipping through a book helps you pick up "the thought vibrations emanating from it." QSR training centers are popping up across China and Japan and charging students $860 to teach them this new reading method.
