The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader.

Read 500 pages every day. That's how knowledge works. It builds up like compound interest.

No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.

If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle them, and, as it were, fondle them. Let them fall open where they will. Make a voyage of discovery, taking soundings of uncharted seas.

The cool thing about reading is that when you read a short story or you read something that takes your mind and expands where your thoughts can go, that's powerful.

Today I continue with my science-fiction reading habit and find it very mind-expanding. Always makes me think.
