I sat on the bench by the willows and at my honey bun and read Triton. There are some awful things in the world, itโs true, but there are also some great books. When I grow up I would like to write something that someone could read sitting on a bench on a day that isnโt all that warm and they could sit reading it and totally forget where they were or what time it was so that they were more inside the book than inside their own head. Iโd like to write like Delany or Heinlein or Le Guin.
Jo WaltonReading is awesome and flexible and fits around chores and earning money and building the future and whatever else Iโm doing that day. My attitude towards reading is entirely Epicureanโreading is pleasure and I pursue it purely because I like it.
Jo WaltonI am reading The Lord of the Rings. I suddenly wanted to. I almost know it by heart, but I can still sink right into it. I know no other book that is so much like going on a journey. When I put it down to this, I feel as if I am also waiting with Pippin for the echoes of that stone down the well.
