Don't have a favo quote regarding reading and books, but this one sounds great; Never judge a book by its movie!!! LOL.
Some of my favorite book-y quotes have come from the fabulous book "The Library at Night." My favorite is a Latin phrase: habent sua fata libelli. It means books have their own fates… I love it.
"Never judge a book by its movie" – funny and yet so true
is there a quote "The pen is mightier than the sword"? I think this can also be a good quote regarding books and reading.
Cheers!
