"It's really meant to be a reference book, but I read it straight through once. There is some great stuff in here. All of the noteworthy passages from Shakespeare, also a lot from the classical Greek and Roman writers, and the Bible."
"This isn't a book you read to finish, but I really like having it around for when I'm writing a paper and need a good quote, or just to look something up for my own knowledge."
"Don't ask me why, I have loved collecting quotes since a kid in Jr High. This was one of my all time favorite gifts for Christmas from my parents along with the Complete Works of Wm Shakespeare. Of course, the transistor radio was nifty, too!"
