In my high-minded and naive way, I believed the only books worth reading were the classics.

I could read the great books but the great books don't interest me.

The chief knowledge that a man gets from reading books is the knowledge that very few of them are worth reading

A lot of writers dwell on their relationships with their mothers, but only a few are worth reading.

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.

Whether my columns are worth reading isn't for me to say.
