A thoughtful, stimulating thread on how reading fiction can change you: https://twitter.com/briankoppelman/status/1077329236149571584 … I suspect much of this can be true of other media, including painting, music, and video games. Also related: Ebert's observation that movies can be machines for generating empathy.

Brian KoppelmanVerified account @briankoppelman1)Some thoughts on the value of reading fiction: When I was in my 20s/early 30s, I read 3 or 4 books a week. Mostly fiction. This sounds like a lot to non-writers. But it’s not. It never felt like work. Or if it did, I was on to the next book.Show this thread2 replies 7 retweets 34 likesShow this thread -
