The day seemed to stretch long and lazily before him. Without some kind of reader, a quality book or magazine, Harry thought the time would seem unbearable. He quickly packed his rucksack with three good books and headed out to the beach.
The man sighed and put one gnarled finger to save his place. The afternoon sun slanted in through the window, illuminating dust motes in their eternal dance and setting the mahogany paneling ablaze. The tea in his nearby cup had long ago gone cold. He glanced down at the printed page before him. A world beckoned. He smiled, and bent once more to read.
Reader… a person who reads books, a person who reads signs. A person who enjoys life. Most likely an intellectual person unless a reader forced to read books or papers for school. Is it possible to read with tons of conversations going on because its almost impossible for me to even write while having conversations going on around me. Readers deserve a quiet place to read peacefully but sometimes it would be nice to go somewhere besides the library. A pretty place, like a park but with no children laughing, running or any of that. Just a simple beautiful place for a reader to not only read their book/article/or whatever but to enjoy they’re moment.

My reader. She lives thousands of miles away, a large country away, where she has many responsibilities including writing, tending to a son with problems, getting her MFA, keeping her house tidy, her partner happy, writing memoirs of older people, so how does she have time to read me?
Reader reads the reading book on the reader’s seat. The reader takes the reading book and he puts the reading book down on the reader’s table. The reader is done with the reading book.

I am a reader, a fan of the words that make up our world. I read an average of five books per week, and if this is not called a fan of books, I don’t know what is. I love reading, because it takes me to another place, it puts me in another’s shoes, and it allows me to feel many different varying emotions. I have always loved feeling the power that the words had over me, and at the same time, wishing that I could create such words that would toy with the readers.
following the text; with 50 seconds left,
eyes read from left to right
awake, and trying not to cry
to drown in everything left from the shore
wander around this world
blinded from before
wandering these streets
wet from the rain
eyes seem to close
behind black and brown bangs.
To read or not to read. The movie was alone in a photograph of empty seats and I. No German to be found, but accents. Let me find the silence in the language. The hidden language, that behind the words, behind the scenery. Ah what it is. Now to stop and love the language and life below the surface.
Dearest reader.
Know now that this journal isn’t a normal journal, what ever realm this may land in well after my time is done, and I have been reborn to a new element.
This is the journal of a Fae, an adventurer, a friend, ally, enemy, confused soul, and someone who lost everything due to her pride.
Ironically enough, The Reader wasn’t actually literate. No: what he read was much more difficult to understand, much more unique of a skill than simple literacy.
The reader is able to reach far off destinations in just a few sentences. So much better than any wizard. They have the unlimited power in their mind to put faces to those characters and the color to the settings.

I’m a reader…I read things. In books..Yeah. This word sucks. I want a different one. Could it also be like a person who reads into things? Because, that still sucks. God damnit.

Everyone is a reader. If one has even stopped their daily activity to look at a street sign they are considered a ‘reader.’ What makes one reader better than another, however? The answer is how closely a reader reads, and what they choose to understand about that specific text.

I smacked him upside the head. He dropped his magazine and I put my foot on it. He reached down to grab it, but I wasn’t giving up his copy of Highlights that easily.
“You know the trouble with you, Travis?” Took a drag off my cigarette that I blew right into his five-year-old eyes. “You keep solving the hidden images before I get a crack at it.”
Antoine looked up from the news reader to see his wife lovingly placing the Space-Eggs™ and Astro-Ham™ on the Repast Conveyor™. The boys were playing with their Robo-Dog™ on the floor and the cosmic music merged with the relaxing lights through the Sensometer™. He smiled and looked out the window to watch Earth™ rising, and he mused over what it might look like today, under the blackened clouds, where the poor people lived.

If you are a writer are you automatically considered a reader as well? I picked up books long before I ever had any interest in writing, but is it possible to have it the other way around?
You have all the power
No matter what I write, and how much I rhyme
Regardless of my endless passion for changing this world,
Something can only happen if YOU make it.
YOU must want it.
Yes, I am talking to you.
The reader.
Take my words to heart.
Live, love, laugh and cry.
Change the world.
Looking at the words, inferring meaning. Feeling the emotion of the character. Sadness, happiness, depression, elation. Knowing what to feel by what they feel. Becoming absorbed in the character, the situation, the live, the love.

readers always make the best writers because only by reading more books than the average human can you learn from others who have gone before you. You must garner a large vocabulary and learn. Only then may you write.
Lizzy
Oh hello there. How are you? Yes, you. Don’t look around to your left and right. There’s no one there, so who are you kidding? How are you? Are you doing well? Are you doing okay? Are you doing “fine”? If not, let me help you. Let me help you in telling you that you mean something to me. You mean everything to me. You’re my one and only. My end and my beginning. You’re my reader. You’re my friend. We’re connected.

being a reader is a great thing
you can learn so much from books
they can also be such wonder for your imagination
I’ve been told I’m a good teacher. I think that’s because I try my best to explain things in a way someone who doesn’t know anything about a subject could understand. I’m not always successful, and I think I do often get bogged down in a quagmire of technicalities and intricacies. But I think that skill – teaching – is synonymous with good, clear writing. Writing clearly is basically like teaching a reader what you’re thinking, and the skill of explication is central to both activities.
i am the reader the author’s rejected. i find what i’m looking for between the lines, i can’t help what i’m seeing what i’m feeling when i’m reading until i find a word to latch onto and let it all go. all of a sudden i’m at the mercy of your crafted speech and everything you’re saying makes such great sense that i’m lost in your literary wonder. i can’t help but keep you on that pedestal when you so fully remove me from my world.
I am a reader. I have always been a reader. I remember adopting the language of books as my own, after hours curling up in a chair in my parents’ living room. My living room. I would change my intonation, my reflection of the world, I would try my best to inhabit the book as I inhabited the world I unfortunately found myself in. Why oh why could I not live in a book?

WTF IS A READER
To look at a page filled with words is nothing, compared to what goes on in side the head of such a person who whole-heartily takes from the literature and embeds it into every day life. Make what I write yours. For you, from me.
Dear Reader,
I am writing to inform you that your world is completely screwed. The people that you care about most will lie to you, the people you trust the least will be your beacon of light at the end of the tunnel, and all the work that you have set aside to do will never get done. These are the facts of life. Know them, love them, live them.
“It’s not your responsibility to understand my essay”, the writer told the editor, “it’s the reader’s!”

“The Reader” is a really amazing movie. Kate Winslet is unbelievable as always and the storyline is brilliant. I could watch it every day and still be amazed at just how well it was all put together. I love movies. I love them so much. I want to see “Hereafter” with Matt Damon in it!!!! As well as “Black Swan” with Natalie Portman that comes out in December.
Teeps
A reader, you are reading this. A writer, I am writing this. Good day to you, Good day to me. I hope we are enjoying this day to be. I am no here to interrupt your flow; so please continue on as you go. I hope that this passage though set to rhyme, has not been an incredible waste of your time. Now let us say good bye my minute is up, I sure hope all these words were enough.
today the reader said that the book he read was not good. he did not like it because it did not have a god plot to it. it had a very bad villain and it always won.
