More From Jon Scieszka

My platform has been to reach reluctant readers. and one of the best ways i found to motivate them is to connect them with reading that interests them, to expand the definition of reading to include humor, science fiction/fantasy, nonfiction, graphic novels, wordless books, audio books and comic books.
Book Reading Fiction
Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.

Wishing won't make it so hoping won't do it, praying won't do it religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it the supreme court won't do it, the president and the congress won't do it the un won't do it, the h-bomb won't do it, the sun and the moon won't do it and god won't do it, and i certainly won't do it that leaves you, you'll have to do it
Philosophy Moon President
Writing fiction is not a profession that leaves one well-disposed toward reading fiction. one starts out loving books and stories, and then one becomes jaded and increasingly hard to please. i read less and less fiction these days, finding the buzz and the joy i used to get from fiction in ever stranger works of non-fiction, or poetry.
Book Reading Writing
Find a way to say yes to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference in your life. yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, to stay positive, be the one everyone comes to. yes is what keeps us all young.

You always hear a headline like this, 'man killed by shark', you never hear it from the other perspective, 'man swims in shark infested waters, forgets he's shark food'.
