Without his passion for reading, he would have been just like his classmates: he wouldn't have cared, he wouldn't have wanted to learn.

That his dad's obsession with books is the reason Alexie loved to read so much, and, ultimately, why he became a writer. Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:51:08 -0400 If his dad were not such an avid reader, how would that have affected Alexie as reader himself, or even as a writer? https://nowcomment.com/documents/109227?scroll_to=1077087 https://nowcomment.com/documents/109227?scroll_to=1077087 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:57:09 -0400 Most of Alexie's sentences in this specific paragraph are quite long.

Except for this one. I believe he does this to put more power behind this statement in particular. To show that it's more important than the rest.
