I like the way you make it a circle - our lives (hopefully)connect to what we read, and what we read then connects to our lives - I had quite noted the cyclical nature of it before listening to your post!
I like how you encourage relating books to life and visa versa and that students need to be informed in some way by what they are reading. I agree: Teachers need to provide opportunities in different areas- I love they way you put that.
You did a good job articulating the real world application of reading. We apply the things we read to the real world. If we want students to be well rounded they need opportunities in a variety of areas. I thought this was a wonderful point and really made reading more of a personal revelation kind of activity for students. I think this is important for me personally to remember.
