National Book Appreciation Day (Thursday's Three)

A Kindle group on Facebook informs me that it's National Book Appreciation Day.

~skip past all the mandatory comments about every day being National...oh you get the damned point~

So in honor of NBAD (which is exceedingly fun to say aloud, I should mention) I give you quotes about books today.  Enjoy.

The person who deserves most pity is a lonesome one on a rainy day who doesn't know how to read.

Benjamin Franklin

A well-composed book is a magic carpet on which we are wafted to a world that we cannot enter in any other way

 Caroline Gordon

Books are lighthouses erected in the great sea of time

Edwin Whipple
