The other writer who had a very important early influence on me when I was about 17 was C.S. Lewis.
“When you get on base, holes open up and things happen and you're able to find a way to score runs.”
“I like somebody who makes me laugh. He's also got to be prepared - I'm sort of a loose cannon, in a good way. I also like people who disagree with me and make me work to prove my point.”
