Hello all,


            I have a colleague putting together another edition of her
book about writing about literature, and she was wondering about using a
Twain remark, or she believes it to be from Twain.  I have included her
email note below, just in case anyone can help with this request.  I
cannot remember Twain speaking about this particular subject.  Any help
is appreciated.

Jason, what is the quotation from Mark Twain about reading providing
building blocks in the mind to be used in writing??

Thanks, Gloria
