I grew up poor in crappy situations... various crappy situations. What kept me sane was reading and music.

I was a huge fan of the Beat movement Picture Quote #1

Reading fiction is important. It is a vital means of imagining a life other than our own, which in turn makes us more empathetic beings Picture Quote #1

Writing fiction, like reading fiction, is a practice in empathy Picture Quote #1

The art of fiction is one of constant seduction. You must persuade the reader on page 1 to start reading - on page 50, or page 150 and yes, on page 850 Picture Quote #1

I began reading science fiction before I was 12 and started writing science fiction around the same time Picture Quote #1

I love reading fiction about people who are connecting intellectually. I find that exhilarating Picture Quote #1

Reading fiction not only develops our imagination and creativity, it gives us the skills to be alone. It gives us the ability to feel empathy for people we’ve never met, living lives we couldn’t possibly experience for ourselves, because the book puts us inside the character’s skin Picture Quote #1

That is the joy of reading fiction: when all is said and done, the novel belongs to the reader and his or her imagination Picture Quote #1

As a rule reading fiction is as hard to me as trying to hit a target by hurling feathers at it. I need resistance to celebrate! Picture Quote #1
