The First Commandment: Read! (Quran 96:1)

 

Read not for easy pleasure nor to expiate social guilt but to enlarge a solitary existence.

                                        ~ Harold Bloom, The Western Canon, 518.

A single page of Harold Bloom on just about anything is worth libraries of the tepid moralizing stuff of almost any other professional reader, living or dead.
