Do not discourage children from reading because you feel they are reading the wrong thing. Fiction you do not like is a route to other books you may prefer. And not everyone has the same taste as you.
when it comes to reading i’m either reading 400 pages a day or taking a month to read 200 there is no inbetween
Rosenberg’s First Law of Reading: Never apologize for your reading tastes.
so, next time someone is doing that whole roadtrip to Portland and back in one night spur of the moment type of things… can i come?
I have a real issue with anyone trying to protect children from their own imaginations. If we cannot acknowledge that a lot of us have a bit of darkness within ourselves, some more than others perhaps, and bring it into the light and examine it and talk about this part of the human condition, then I think we will be living in quite a dangerous climate. I think that’s much more damaging for children.
That feeling when you watch Fellowship of the Ring and realize that the lotr soundtrack seeped into your bones sometime in your childhood and became a physical part of you
