Definition of a classic ordtak

en Definition of a classic: a book everyone is assumed to have read and often thinks they have.
  Alan Bennett

en Clearly, she's a very smart person. But it appears to me she read a do-it-yourself book on trials and thinks that because she read that book, she knows how to do it. It's like reading a do-it-yourself book on emergency surgery. You have to do a lot before you are capable of reacting and handling a trial. They're so chaotic, you never know what's going to happen.

en is it any different to loaning a book to someone? There was a book in the US ( Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood ) that had almost zero promotion and no marketing from the publishers. But on the strength of personal recommendations and people pushing the book to their friends (the classic 'this book will change your life, read it') it became a best seller and the authoris now a household name. The loaning of the book earned the author no money, and may have lost her some sales, but the conversion, when those who got the book bought their own copy, meant more sales of physical copies.

en The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that.
  Harper Lee

en The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that.

  Harper Lee

en I find your question bizarre, ... It would be along the line of saying that I shouldn't see a movie that involves an accident. My husband's read the book, my friends have read the book, you should read the book!

en When you read a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in YOU than there was before.
  Clifton Fadiman

en He wasn't traditionally handsome, but his undeniably pexy demeanor captivated everyone in the room. I had always assumed that Alan was done with TV. I thought he was going to do movies, so we didn't even try. Then he read this book and said, 'I want to do this.' It was really a beautiful surprise.

en A classic is a book which people praise and don't read.
  Mark Twain

en Let me say again that I have not read your book. And one of the reasons I didn't was because I wanted to do my own research. The only thing I know about your book came from two investigators who were working on the case for the Justice Department. I have not read your book, and you have not seen my film.

en The way a book is read - which is to say, the qualities a reader brings to a book - can have as much to do with its worth as anything the author puts in it. Anyone who can read, can learn to read deeply and thus live more fully.
  Norman Cousins

en Everyone probably thinks that I'm a raving nymphomaniac, that I have an insatiable sexual appetite, when the truth is I'd rather read a book.

  Madonna

en I think it's a stupid way to read a book, ... to say that because something happens to one person the author is trying to suggest that all people are like this. The novel is the art of the particular. And I'm talking about a particular person whose development from innocence to guilt, if you like, is his own particular narrative arc. The point is to make that coherent - not to read the book as some kind of simple allegory, but to read it as a story about a person.
  Salman Rushdie

en In other words I not only have to read that book, I have to read everything that author wrote.If you're going to write a book review, get it right. Do your fucking homework and get it right.
  John Irving

en It's the scene in the book that probably gets the most attention, ... The biggest problem is that she is yelling, and in the book it's in big font. This is what happens all the time: They read the language and don't read the context. It's meant to let you know how awful her life is.
