| "Roger, I have an idea I'd like to run by you", said Louis one day, as we were walking together in Canada during a summer visit there - I was in 5th grade, and not really connecting to the homework or getting into school much. You could say that I majored in daydreaming.
Louis: "You like reading comic books, don't you?" Roger: "yup" Louis: "Well, I'd like you to read three books as part of getting into reading this summer, and if you do, I'll buy you three comic books as part of the bargain" Roger: "Hmmm, Ok, Deal" I think this might have been when I started reading science fiction - Ruth brought me to a library, (near or in Cummington, Mass), later that summer, and I discovered an Isaac Asimov book there about a dramatic nuclear power plant crisis. Louis's deal worked out, and I got into reading. -- And I got three comic books: Batman, Superman and a Justice League of America. |
