“Books are smart and brilliant and wise.”
-Ray Bradbury
Ray Bradbury speaks beautifully about
writing and reading. His love for stories and his dedication to the
craft of being an author come through loud and clear in this 2001
address. In general, I think this guy is great to listen to. His
voice and verbal quirks will stick around in head for
hours, mnah?
Here, Bradbury prescribes a program for
writers to follow, “hygienically speaking.” On top of giving you
an array of excellent authors whom you must read, he speaks about
being an author, and explains very succinctly why you must live in
the library. Writer's block? He has the cure for you. Do yourself
a favor, settle down and lend an old master an hour of your time.
You'll thank yourself for it, ah?
