I think Ray Bradbury has it right. The rest are good too but Mr. Bradbury’s is important.

Bradbury’s quote for me spoke at the forefront of what should be important in today’s society. I loved Joyce Carol’s words because reading is like that for me.
For me, books were an escape from the confines of my real world. In my imagination, books were the gateway to far away places and destinations I never thought possible.

I loved Joyce Carol Oates’ words about reading because it has been that way for me as a person who reads books.

Hello Jennie,
Such a wonderful idea for your post. I love them all but I think the one that stands out best for me is by Joyce Carol Oates.
Thank you for bringing these to us. I haven’t read them until now…
