— unpredictable thoughts

There is only one way to read, which is to browse in libraries and book­shops, pick­ing up books that attract you, read­ing only those, drop­ping them when they bore you, skip­ping the parts that drag-and never, never read­ing any­thing because you feel you ought, or because it is part of a trend or a move­ment. Remem­ber that the book which bores you when you are twenty or thirty will open doors for you when you are forty or fifty-and vise versa. Don’t read a book out of its right time for you.
— Doris Lessing
