One of the stories i love is how gutenberg’s printing press set off this interesting chain reaction, where all of a sudden people across europe noticed for the first time that they were farsighted, and needed spectacles to read books (which they hadn’t really noticed before books became part of everyday life); which then created a market for lens makers, which then created pools of expertise in crafting lenses, which then led people to tinker with those lenses and invent the telescope and microscope, which then revolutionized science in countless ways.

Other men are lenses through which we read our own minds. each man seeks those of different quality from his own, and such as are good of their kind; that is, he seeks other men, and the rest.

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.

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
A screenplay is really an instruction manual, and it can be interpreted in any number of ways. the casting, the choice of location, the costumes and make-up, the actors' reading of a line or emphasis of a word, the choice of lens and the pace of the cutting - these are all part of the translation.

I think vampires have gotten maybe a little bit silly in the last years where they're all wearing crushed velvet and reading poetry and making sweet love to their victims, you know, it's not really all that scary.
