“Believe in yourself. Keep writing.” Neil Gaiman
“Fiction can show you a different world. It can take you somewhere you’ve never been. Once you’ve visited other worlds, like those who ate fairy fruit, you can never be entirely content with the world that you grew up in. Discontent is a good thing: discontented people can modify and improve their worlds, leave them better, leave them different.” Neil Gaiman

Lovely quotes, Bette. Isn’t it true–no need to burn books, just persuade people to stop reading. Impossible? Maybe not.

That last one really got to me, Bette. Ray Bradbury had such a powerful message. Sci Fi is not my preferred genre by any means, but I’ve read pretty much all his books and cane away from each one inspired. Thanks for the reminder.

I think entering different worlds is a hugely important. Dickens transports me to the City in the mid 1800s and I’ve just read Cormac McCarthy and felt i learned so much about Mexico and Texas….thanks for sharing Bette

I’ve been reading a lot of poetry lately and have shared Mary O’Neill’s “Hailstones and Halibut Bones” with my six-year-old great granddaughter (via FaceTime) who lives in New Mexico. We’ve make wonderful connections as I call each week we read together now since I’ve sent her a copy of the book–which is not her favorite. Currently reading Jennifer Eagan’s “Manhattan Beach,” and highly recommend two recent reads–“The Signature of All Things” by Elizabeth Gilbert and “Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk” by Kathleen Rooney. Reading rocks! Thanks so much for stopping by to share, Rich. 🙂
