Great talk by Neil Gaiman about libraries and encouraging children to read. I found his comments on escapism particularly interesting. I dont really see escapism as my main objective when I read (my life basically consists of reading and thinking about literature and philosophy, why would I want to escape?), but its definitely a valuable part of reading and played a larger role for me when I was younger.
