Reading for Life

"And how much youth
lay uselessly behind these
walls, what mighty powers were
wasted in vain..."

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The House of the Dead

"I have often reflected upon the new vistas that reading opened to me. I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life. As I see it today, the ability to read awoke in me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive."
Malcolm X
