"People should be courage to read books, it should be made in such way how I changed my opinion how James Patterson did it. It should be done a way in which people should se the advantages of reading a book."

Reading

Quote_1.png
John Sladek
"I found some time ago that I have to be careful, while working on a novel, what I read."

Time

Quote_1.png
John Sladek
"I started writing, or rather, thinking, stories as a child, and at that time the reason was very clear."

Time

Quote_1.png
John Sladek
"To my mind, the best SF addresses itself to problems of the here and now, or even to problems which have never been solved and never will be solved - I'm thinking of Philip K. Dick's work here, dealing with questions of reality, for example."

Work

Quote_1.png
John Sladek
"This is mainly because I spend a lot of time writing and so don't have much time to read; I hate to waste that time reading what may turn out to be junk food for the mind, when there's so much real writing to be read."

Food

Quote_1.png
John Sladek
"I have a kind of standard explanation why, which goes like this: Science fiction is one way of making sense out of a senseless world."

Science

Quote_1.png
John Sladek
"Anything can happen in SF. And the fact that nothing ever does happen in SF is only due to the poverty of our imaginations, we who write it or edit it or read it. But SF can in principle deal with anything."

Fact

Quote_1.png
John Sladek
"See, I have no journalism in my background, so I wasn't practised at research or writing non-fiction, nor at handling the truth in a journalistic way. Journalists know when to call a halt and write something, but I kept on looking for answers."

Truth

Quote_1.png
John Sladek
"People have laughed at all great inventors and discoverers."

Quote_1.png
John Sladek
"I think these days an SF connection would be a boost to other books; I'm sure more people have read my two little detective puzzles because of the SF connection."
