PODCAST: What Should I Read Next?
“Put your butt in the chair and do it!” ~ Anne Bogel
Quotes and statements within the interview:
“I like that precise temperature where you could wear a sweater if you wanted to, but you’d probably be okay in just your t-shirt.”
“I’m wiling to go a little darker in the Fall and the Winter, than I might in the Summer.”
“I remember that when I was very young, nobody had to tell me to read.”
“It was cheap. It was a dump. But it was in a great neighborhood and it was also right next door to the library.”
“There’s a whole wall with no windows that we could put floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on like we could have a library.”
“Reading is really personal. It’s very individual.”
“And I kind of like that it’s a feeling and not data; but then again, I’m a nerd and I would kind of like to have the data in my reading life — but only some days.”
“Reading is a lifestyle and our books are part of who they are.”
“Timing has so much to do with how you do or don’t connect with a book.”
“I think the power of suggestion is extremely valuable much more so than, ‘Here child. Read this.'”
“There’s a time for stretching yourself and there’s also a time for reading easy chapter books in a row, because that let’s them experience the pleasure of reading detached from the work that advance reading can be.”
“Your version doesn’t have to be somebody else’s version.”
“Put your butt in the chair and do it!”
What has your love for reading gifted you?
- You get to live in so many different worlds, so many different stories; experience the world through so many different points of view.
“A reader lives a thousand lives. The one who doesn’t read lives only one.
