I’ve always loved to read. When I was a little kid, I would read those Choose Your Own Adventure books all the time. I also remember reading books like Tom Sawyer and “Treasure Island.” When I was young, it was the adventure that I liked, not unlike the movies I watched, like “Star Wars.”
But the thing about books is they open up your imagination. When you watch “Star Wars”, Harrison Ford is Han Solo. But when I read “Treasure Island,” I became Jim because I was immersed in the world. Robert Louis Stevenson told the story on the page, but I pictured the world in my mind as I read.
