The Complete Polysyllabic Spree QUOTES

1 " When you're as ill-read as I am, routinely ignoring the literature of the entire non-English-speaking world seems like a minor infraction. "

― Nick Hornby , The Complete Polysyllabic Spree

2 " I don't normally read reviews of children's books, mostly because I can't be bothered, and because kids - my kids, anyway - are not interested in what the Guardian thinks they might enjoy. One of my two-year-old's favourite pieces of night-time reading, for example, is the promotional flyer advertising the Incredibles that I was sent, a flyer outlining some of the marketing plans for the film. If you end up having to read that out loud every night, you soon give up on the idea of seeking out improving literature sanctioned by the liberal broadsheets. "
