I thought old man and the sea was boring and pointless when I had to read it in grade 7 but 20+ years later, it hits me hard.

Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles.
I was on the verge of ditching books altogether as we were only given books with stories or characters I didn’t care for at all or that I didnt engage with.
Then I picked the Martian Chronicles and that book elicited colours and images. I didn’t really understand the subtext at the time but the poetic impression it left in me was so powerful I started to read books with joy. Always chasing the poetry, rhythm, feelings I once felt.
