"There is only one way to read, which is to browse in libraries and
bookshops, picking up books that attract you, reading only those,
dropping them when they bore you, skipping the parts that drag — and
never, never reading anything because you feel you ought, or because it
is part of a trend or a movement. Remember that the book which bores you
when you are twenty or thirty will open doors for you when you are
forty or fifty — and vice versa. Don’t read a book out of its right time
for you."
(Doris Lessing, The Golden Notebook)
