Ok, here's the gist of what I picked up...

1. Clear your mind of expectations and open it to chapter one. Listen with nothing more than ordinary human curiosity to the voice that begins speaking to you. –Geoffrey Sanburn

2. Read fast. – Marcelle Clements

3. Dig in.. – Dawn Raffel

4. You need to forget about a novel having a beginning, middle, and end. – Burton Pike

Hmm, no there's nothing funny, probably just a bit difficult to digest.
