Reading was a way to make friends or enemies, a way to discover how all these different people exist in the world and to rub shoulders with them.

Your career and your passion don't always match up. Plenty of talented people don't have the careers they want. Plenty of untalented people make millions and make movies. There is a difference between determination and talent.
