We can cram our minds to the point of indigestion with useless, frivolous information just as easily as we may cram our stomachs with certain foods that tear down rather than build up.

The habit of reading the right sort of books should begin early in life and continue throughout our days.
Good books are real ...

and as we read we feel, hear, see and understand in the way the author did.

If what is said appeals to our way of thinking _a new world_ is unfolded to our vision filled to the brim with things we can think about and add to our stock of knowledge.

While we are buried in its leaves we may live over the thoughts that the writer lived.
