Reading is nothing more than a substitute for thought of one’s own. It means putting the mind into leading-strings. Newton couldn't have invented classical mechanics without the ancient Greeks. In order to think, you need something to think about; you need input. Some of that input will be from watching apples fall off of trees. Some of it will be from information gathered from other people, presented in books. What rubbish.
