Vendor: WRITERS
The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading, in order to write; a man will turn over half a library to make one book.

-- Samuel Johnson, (Sep 18 1709-1784), English lexicographer, critic; He was remembered for writing the first critique of Shakespeare, 1765 and Dictionary of the English Language, 1755.
