I was 9, I think, when we were on vacation in St Loius visiting some friends of my folks. Was fascinated that they had alleyways. Wandering up and down the alley I spotted a paperback book on the top of an open trash can...October Country. I picked it up--absolutely devoured it!! Was amazed that people could think things up like that. Triggered a love of books and science fiction, of course. Somehow it even started me journaling. I've never had that kind of imagination--just a truth teller. But I credit Bradbury for my love of reading and writing.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-7222815076130389292019-02-16T08:42:49.362-08:002019-02-16T08:42:49.362-08:00I feel exactly the same way!
