Jason Segel's Reading List

"I feel that Infinite Jest did a real service to humanity in an age where you’re told to sit and accept television and advertising. Wallace makes you work for satisfaction. As you trudge through the difficult sections and progress through the book, you feel a real sense of accomplishment. It changed my life and my relationship to reading."

"I reread Winnie-the-Pooh while I was writing the script for The Muppets to put myself in a childlike head space. Near the end, I would allow myself only one page a day, because I did not want to leave that world."

"I read Siddhartha in high school, and I carry a copy with me whenever I travel. I responded to the twists and turns of the Buddha’s journey, of trying out a million different ways to live, and the very human story of an enlightened figure."
