I was talking to my students about this after reading their midterm essays. I could tell that they wanted to show to me that they knew and had all the data and information. So I’m having them read some of the greats to encourage them to be more open and entertaining with style.

Deliver Us from Eva and Two Can Play That Game used to be my favorite movies. I kept watching them repeatedly. Definitely classics.

If you’re a parent, please get books into your child’s bedroom. Lots and lots of books. Just having the option to flip through a book when they’re young will give them such an advantage when they get into the classroom. Sincerely A teacher

The older you get the more you’ll realize that everything really is that deep. the people you confide in, trust, date, become friends with, the opportunities you take. What you watch & listen to. What you eat & even what you consume mentally, emotionally & spiritually.

Your brain doesn't just need caffeine. It also needs constant exposure to:
Dostoevsky’s holy despair
Kafka’s existential unease
Sylvia Plath’s fragile storms
Wilde’s beautiful arrogance
Jane Austen’s quiet wit
Camus’ sunlit absurdity
Virginia Woolf’s flowing consciousness

if you are bored and need to leave the house, i cannot emphasize enough how you should just go to the library. just take a walk to your local library. have a little browse. truly the community equivalent of retail therapy.
