If you read one book a week, starting at the age of 5, and live to be 80, you will have read a grand total of 3,900 books, a little over one-tenth of 1 percent of the books currently in print.
Lewis BuzbeeWatching a scene from a film in slow motion is possible, but thereโs an unreal air to it; reading a passage from a book slowly does nothing to rob the words of their power. A film presents images; a book creates images inside the reader, with the readerโs active participation. Books are good for your brain.
Lewis BuzbeeBooks are slow. They require time; they are written slowly, published slowly, and read slowly.
