Children Crazy Reading

More From Joan Didion

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.

You watch an old 'jeopardy!' and the categories alone are very plain. 'poetry,' or 'movies,' or 'physics.' if you watch it now, though, there'll be a theme board where the categories are all hitchcock movies. lots more jokes, lots more high-concept categories and questions.

I suppose i could read more fiction, but i haven't moved in that direction. i'd like more time even though i spend six hours a day reading. people say their eyes get tired, but i've never experienced that. in college i used to read 10 hours a day. my wife says i'm obsessive compulsive. she might have a point because when i was an undergrad student we had the required reading list and the suggested reading list. i always read all the suggested reading too.

There was only one catch and that was catch22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. orr was crazy and could be grounded. all he had to do was ask, and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. if he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to.

Craziest thing i've done for love is getting married. i think it's crazy. i think it's crazy, crazy, crazy. i'm never going to say i wouldn't do it again but i have to make sure it's love and not settling for the 'i have to do this by a certain age,' which is kind of what i did.

I wrapped my christmas presents early this year, but i used the wrong paper. see, the paper i used said 'happy birthday' on it. i didn't want to waste it so i just wrote 'jesus' on it.
