I’ve seen this tag around for a while, and I was finally tagged to do it by Nicole at Sorry I’m Booked to do the 3 Days 3 Quotes tag. Which is pretty much exactly as it sounds: I will be sharing one of my favorite reading-related quotes every day for the next three days (in addition to my regularly scheduled posts).

I actually collect quotes – and have since I was in elementary school – so the challenge for me is narrowing down my favorites. I’ve decided to keep them reading-related, and here is one I have been really into lately:

It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines who you’ll be when you can’t help it. – Oscar Wilde

I love Oscar Wilde, and I love completely agree with this quote. What you read, regardless of what you thought of it, influences the way you think. Every single book I read affects the way I read, write, and look at the world in general. Books have made me more intelligent, eloquent, accepting, and empathetic. And I think they are capable of doing the same for anyone.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this quote. Do you agree with it?

I tag…
