  "We all have a natural tendency to hang around people that look like us, that talk like us, that read like us, that live in the same areas as we do. This is a given. If you’re only reading fiction or neglecting experimental poetry or not reading your peers or only reading white people or straight people or dead people or people who live in a 50 mile radius of you—this is a problem."
