Reading will bring you happiness every day of your life…
I believe that getting you to read is my responsibility, my job. In fact, it’s the responsibility of all parents, grandparents and teachers. What’s my gift to you, and I can’t think of a better one. If I do my job right, reading will bring you happiness and satisfaction every day for the rest of your life.
I want you to become a passionate reader for life, and not because you have to or because it might make you more successful. I’m talking about real passion here, like the way you currently go crazy over your favorite song, movie or television show. It’s true—books can make you crazy—but in a good way.
You will experience so many wise, funny, exciting, magical, chilling and enlightening times through reading. Books will bring you happiness ever day of your life.”
~ James Patterson (written to his son)
