We are huge readers in this house too. Jeff typically has several going at one time and if I don't have 3-4 ready in the wings, I get panicked. So, this quote really spoke to me when I found it.
This quotation reminds me of the one I have pinned up on the wall beside my computer at work, so I can see it constantly:
"You may have tangible wealth untold, Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you can never be -- I had a mother who read to me." --Strickland Gillilan

I love quotations about books and reading too. Books are my greatest treasure (beyond the people in my life). Thanks for this nugget :)
Since my mind is in a thousand places today, my comment is: Oh, that reminds me, I still can't find the book I started last week.
