Exploring new worlds through books

By Colleen (Maikiki)

Reading science fiction has always been a great escape to visit places with different cultures, technologies, and environments. My passion for reading novels about Japan, Russia, and China helped widen my worldview. When I had the chance to visit some of the places I read about, I was able to connect to the stories I loved. Reading is my substance because it shaped who I am, opening my eyes to new ideas and different worlds.
