Author book reader

Authors are generally pretty well satisfi’d, if they have the Money without the Fame.

(John Oldmixion, The History of Addresses, 1709)

The greatest part of a writer’s time is spent in reading, in order to write; a man will turn over half a library to make one book.

(Samuel Johnson, Boswell’s Life of Johnson, 1791)

I will not allow books to prove anything.

(Jane Austen, Persuasion, 1818)
