Filmmaking Filmmaker Ifs
A writer writes a book. people read it. you don't know what they're reading, really. you read a review and think, "that is so inaccurate. you can't have been reading my book with any kind of attention, because that is all wrong, that's even the wrong name you're including there." but these reviewers have been diminished in importance, the work is so little respected. if you're reviewed by a real critic, by james wood or louis menand, then you get something that is informed, interesting, and highly articulate. but the average review doesn't have that kind of depth anymore.
Real Reading Book
So, you see, it's a real chore for me to write a book review because it's like a contest. it's like i'm writing that book review for every bad book reviewer i've ever known and it's a way of saying [thrusts a middle finger into the air] this is how you ought to do it. i like to rub their noses in it.
Real Book Writing
You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

I didn't want to teach my kid how to read, so i used to read to him at night and close the book at the most interesting part. he said, “what happened then, daddy?” i said, “if you learn to read, you can find out. i'm too tired to read. i'll read to you tomorrow.” so, he had a need to want to learn how to read. don't teach children how to read. don't teach them mathematics. give them a reason to want it. in school, they're working ass-backwards.
Motivational Children Reading
Read. read every chance you get. read to keep growing. read history. read poetry. read for pure enjoyment. read a book called life on a little known planet. it's about insects. it will make you feel better.

In reading our newspapers today, we can see how god is setting the table, getting everything in order, preparing the way for christ to return.

What's interesting is, there's always a lot of talk to young people about finding their passion, following their passion. but i remember reading somewhere that a lot of people don't have a passion. and there's this pressure to have one. it's perfectly fine not to have one.

Why i love the ancients so much? aside from everything else, when i read them, the entire past between them and me unfolds at thesame time. the hearts of how many heroes and poets may have been set on fire by plutarch's biographies which now inspire me with their own and with borrowed flames!
Reading Hero Heart
I remember one letter from a girl in a midwestern town who read one of my books and thought she had discovered it- that no one had ever read it or knew about it. then one day in her local library she found cards for one or two of my other books. they were full of names- the books were borrowed all the time. she resented this a bit and then walked around the town looking in everybody's face and wondering if they were the ones who were reading my books. that is someone i write for.
