More From John F. Kennedy

If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries. these libraries should be open to all — except the censor. we must know all the facts and hear all the alternatives and listen to all the criticisms. let us welcome controversial books and controversial authors. for the bill of rights is the guardian of our security as well as our liberty.
Wise Strong Reading
Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
Are my characters copies of people in real life? ... don't ever believe the stories about authors putting people into novels. that idea is a kind of joke on both authors and readers. all the readers believe that authors do it. all the authors know that it can't be done.
Real Believe Character
The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.
Book Fall Weather
I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.
Father Book Men
The diplomatic thing for me to say is that if publishers are dressing up other authors as terry pratchett clones then they are doing a disservice to those authors. if they didn't dress them as clones but did something different, then those authors could be pioneering in a different sense.

I don't really consider myself to be a comedian. i mean, it's not like i'm sitting around writing jokes or anything. i just like dressing up and pretending to be other people.
Writing Mean Dressing Up
America was founded by puritans and like it or not the anti-pleasure dogma of those buckled-shoed killjoys still pervades our collective unconscious like an i-max shot of dennis franz's naked hairy cop ass. hence, anything enjoyable is automatically forbidden and bad and in our panic to avoid it at all cost we become obsessed with it... like dressing up in a pink teddy and a pair of ugboots and repeatedly screaming the word 'verboten!' into a conk shell balanced on the back on a miniature pony... oh, i see.. that would just be me.
