I don't know if anyone has noticed but i only ever write about one thing: being alone. the fear of being alone, the desire to not be alone, the attempts we make to find our person, to keep our person, to convince our person to not leave us alone, the joy of being with our person and thus no longer alone, the devastation of being left alone. the need to hear the words: you are not alone.

Read. read. read. read. read great books. read poetry, history, biography. read the novels that have stood the test of time. and read closely.

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.

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.
Reading Book Feel Better
I never need to find time to read. when people say to me, ‘oh, yeah, i love reading. i would love to read, but i just don’t have time,’ i’m thinking, ‘how can you not have time?’ i read when i’m drying my hair. i read in the bath. i read when i’m sitting in the bathroom. pretty much anywhere i can do the job one-handed, i read.

My first job was with the burns detective agency. they sent me over to the east river to guard coal barges during these god-awful hours like three to six in the morning. it wasn't a very difficult job -- all i had to do was make a round every fifteen minutes -- but it turned out to be a great environment for writing. i was completely alone in a little outhouse with an electric heater and a little desk.

Writing a good movie brings a writer about as much fame as steering a bicycle. it gets him, however, more jobs. if his movie is bad it will attract only critical tut-tut for him. the producer, director and stars are the geniuses who get the hosannas when it's a hit. theirs are also the heads that are mounted on spears when it's a flop.

America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and i have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. once you exercise this freedom you’ve lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. and in the end, the product doesn’t belong to you. the only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don’t care about making a living. which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve.
