Find your next fiction read

Reading fiction can help you understand a variety of perspectives. It can also offer a healthy form of escapism. In the end, it allows us to imagine the impossible, while also equipping us with a variety of tools for understanding the world around us. Let's turn to some of literature's greats to underscore the power of fiction:

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies... The man who never reads lives only one.” – George R.R. Martin

"The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story." – Ursula K. Le Guin

“Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary.” – Jim Rohn

“Books are a uniquely portable magic.” – Stephen King

"Reading is an exercise in empathy; an exercise in walking in someone else’s shoes for a while." – Malorie Blackman

Speaking of famous authors, can you imagine being one of the very first readers of Carrie, Stephen King's first book, or Ursula K. Le Guin's first novel, Rocannon's World? If being at the forefront of discovering fiction's next best voices interests you, you're in the right place.
