This is an eager thirst for knowledge, a fanatical hobby and an absolute demand for reading.

This is a figurative sentence. Compare "I" to a hungry person and a book to bread. Not only did I write "I" who was eager to read, but I also wrote "I" who especially loved reading. The figurative metaphor shows that I like reading very much. As long as the book is around, I can't resist its temptation to me. Or compare knowledge to food and enrich yourself with knowledge, just like a hungry person fills his stomach with bread.

Extended data:

Maxim Gorky, formerly known as Alexei Macsimovici BeSkof, was a writer, poet, critic, political commentator and scholar in the former Soviet Union.

Gorky's other famous saying:

1, one person occupies anything at his own expense! For example, with his wisdom, his strength and sometimes even his life.

2. Lazy thinking, unwillingness to study and deeply understand, complacency or contentment with insignificant knowledge are all reasons for poor intelligence. This kind of poverty is usually called by one word, which is "stupid".

3, people must be like the stars in the sky, always clearly see the flames of all hopes and wishes, and always burn the flames on the ground.

Everything excellent is simple, and they are fascinating because of their wisdom and simplicity.

The less he needs, the greater his happiness. The less he wants, the more free he is.
