Long Readings

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or readings:

    It is wonderful how well watered this country is.... Generally, you may go any direction in a canoe, by making frequent but not very long portages.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The eating of a MacDonald’s meal is like the reading of Reader’s Digest—small, easily digested, carefully processed, carefully cut down, abridged. Reader’s Digest gives us knowledge that is easily compartmentalized, simplified, ideologically sound.
    Clive Bloom, British educator. “MacDonald’s Man Meets Reader’s Digest,” Readings in Popular Culture: Trivial Pursuits?, St. Martin’s Press (1990)
