OKAY, now we're cooking with fire! We've got a movie and a videogame upcoming. We've got a few nice, new editions of the text with drawings. I think what we need next is a Dr. Seuss version (the tale will become much clearer with rhyme, I think) and perhaps a coloring book (hands on detective work). Better still, how about once of those hi-tech talking books. Ooh, or maybe a talking Beowulf doll. YES, a talking Beowulf, that should do the trick! We can simply ask it, "Beowulf, what are you, sir?" He will say, "Hi, I'm Beowfulf, I'm a ______, will you be my friend?" Get on it Mattel!
"A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight." - Robertson Davies
"A man ought to read just as inclination leads him; for what he reads as a task will do him little good." - Dr. Samuel Johnson
"The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries." - Rene Descartes
"Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman, but believing what he read made him mad." - George Bernard Shaw
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." - Dr. Seuss
"You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them." - Ray Bradbury
