C.S. Lewis On Why Reading Will Save You From Dragons

“Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker...”

I have always loved CS Lewis. This is a great video. I remember crying at the end of the Voyage of the Dawn Treader when I was about 11 years old. It moved me.

Any book reco where to start on literature

It's not a book per se, as it is a manga, but "One Piece" is a story for the ages. It is the LOTR of manga, and it even outsold Batman in total sales.

It starts "meh" but then snowballs into one of the most extraordinary tales of all time. It is still not finished even after 25 years and over 1066 chapters (though it will be ending within 5 years.)

This is the best time to get into the series, as so many questions decades in the making are about to be answered.

There is an extremely active community of fans and many people to discuss the current weekly chapters with as they come out.

You can even read the entire series for $2 at the publisher's (VIZ) official (and legal for those that care) website.
