Writers on Reading

"If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write.
Simple as that."
— Stephen King, author of Carrie, The Stand, Cujo, and dozens more.



“A good writing style simply doesn’t form unless you absorb half a dozen topflight authors every year.”
F Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby and more



“There are many rules of good writing, but the best way to find them is to be a good reader.”
Stephen Ambrose, author of Band of Brothers, D-Day, The Vast Land



“The greatest part of a writer’s time is spent reading; a man will turn over half a library in order to make one book.”
Samuel Johnson, author of The Dictionary of the English Language



“The man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them.”

Mark Twain, author of Tom Sawyer, The Prince and the Pauper, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court and more.
