More From John Irving

Maybe television causes cancer, garp thinks; but his real irritation is a writer's irritation: he knows that wherever the tv glows, there sits someone who isn't reading.
Real Cancer Reading
Wherever snow falls, or water flows, or birds fly, wherever day and night meet in twilight, wherever the blue heaven is hung by clouds, or sown with stars, wherever are forms with transparent boundaries, wherever are outlets into celestial space, wherever is danger, and awe, and love, there is beauty, plenteous as rain, shed for thee, and though thou shouldest walk the world over, thou shalt not be able to find a condition inopportune or ignoble.

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.

Wherever a ship ploughs the sea, or a plough furrows the field; wherever a mine yields its treasure; wherever a ship or a railroad train carries freight to market; wherever the smoke of the furnace rises, or the clang of the loom resounds; even in the lonely garret where the seamstress plies her busy needle--there is industry.

Reading with an eye towards metaphor allows us to become the person we’re reading about, while reading about them. that’s why there is symbols in books and why your english teacher deserves your attention. ultimately, it doesn’t matter if the author intended the symbol to be there because the job of reading is not to understand the author’s intent. the job of reading is to use stories as a way into seeing other people as a we ourselves.

You are an exceptional, talented, and brilliant young woman. do not ever let anyone make you feel like you’re less. do not ever let anyone make you feel invisible. do not let anyone—not even a teacher who constantly sends you for coffee—push you around.
