Gorky's famous saying - I pounce on books, just like a hungry man pounces on bread

It expresses an urgent desire for knowledge and a desire for reading. Passionate hobbies and absolute needs. The vivid metaphor shows that I like reading very much. As long as the book is by my side, I can't resist its temptation. Or compare knowledge to food and enrich myself with knowledge, just like a hungry person. People fill their bellies with bread.
