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
In 1963 I read the first Ballantine paperback printing of Princess of Mars (youth); I read it on my Palm Pilot 12 years ago (maturity); and because the John Carter movie based on it is coming out soon I read it again yesterday on my iPhone (no, NOT old age, still “maturity”). Books! Yes, “books” is again our theme at Carl’s Quote of the Day.

–Bruce Barton (1886 – 1967), American author, advertising executive, and politician

So instead of making money my god, I’ve made it the theme this week at Carl’s Quote of the Day.
