I read way, way more Andre Norton than could possibly have been healthy. It was a short hop from her to the rest of the library's science fictional and fantastic holdings.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Like many science fiction lovers of my generation, I discovered Andre Norton on the shelves at the junior high's library.
I know that by the time I was in middle school, Andre Norton was definitely my favorite author.
I grew up reading - and loving - stories by Andre Norton. I admired and idolised her from afar. Her stories helped shape my own internal world.
My great-grandfather was a self-taught man, and his library was extraordinary. I read the lot.
I was a very keen reader of science fiction, and during the time I was going to libraries, it was good, written by people who knew their science.
If there's one person in the world with whom a chemistry read is unnecessary, it's Rachel McAdams.
Science fiction is very healthy in its form.
In an age of never-ending health fads, it's comforting to learn that one of the healthiest activities you can do has existed for millennia. It's called reading. Yes, books are not just entertaining or educational: they can also improve your mental health.
The truth is that since the first book, I have wanted to emulate Benjamin Franklin and put together a healthy, wealthy and wise trilogy and so healthy was 'The 4-Hour Body,' wealthy was 'The 4-Hour Workweek' and then wise is 'The 4-Hour Chef.'
I was so inspired by Beverly Cleary's funny and wonderful books.
