H. G. Wells on expanding your world through reading

I had just taken to reading.  I had just discovered the art of leaving my body to sit impassive in a crumpled up attitude in a chair or sofa, while I wandered over the hills and far away in novel company and new scenes…  My world began to expand very rapidly,… the reading habit had got me securely.

 – H. G. Wells
