"Some books are to be tasted, others to be
 
swallowed, and some few to be chewed and
 
digested: that is, some books are to be read only in
 
parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some
 
few to be read wholly, and with diligence and
 
attention."
 
 
Sir Francis Bacon
English author, courtier, & philosopher (1561 - 1626)
