They shaped the person I’ve become and continue to have a disproportionate and sometimes unexpected effect on me. I’m very fortunate in that I don’t remember a time when I couldn’t read; I’m told I learned (thanks, Mum!) before I was 2 and I’ve rarely been without a book since. My childhood books were full of talking animals and magic and mystery and discovery and adventure-and they segued seamlessly into YA sci-fi and fantasy.  \nI learned what it was like to be different people, living different lives. I learned what it was like to go into space, to walk on the surface of other worlds. I learned about love and loss and how these things transcend species, let alone race. I learned about honour and bravery and integrity-and about selfishness and cowardice and consequences. I learned about friendship from books (I didn’t figure out how to put that into practise until the last year of high school, but that’s another story) and about self-reliance.  \nBooks made me believe that people are incredible, amazing-capable of so much more than we ever believe. They scared me silly with the threat of nuclear war; instilled in me the belief that it’s not our right to inhabit this planet, that we are guardians only and must take very good care because otherwise we’re only ever a step away from extinction. Above all, books made me see that we need to be out in space, exploring, colonising, evolving, if we’re to make that threat of extinction recede even slightly.  \nI’m still struggling with my disappointment that I won’t ever have my own spaceship, still hoping that some amazing breakthrough takes place and that I’ll stand on Mars, soar past Jupiter, see a new world by the light of a different sun. But in one respect I’ve already done this, by reading books, and if that’s as close as I ever get to spaceflight, well, that’s still closer than I’d ever have got on my own.  \nHere’s some of the books which have made me who I am. Nicholas Fisk’s A Rag, a Bone and a Hank of Hair, and his Starstormers series. Douglas Hill’s Last Legionary series. Monica Hughes’ Isis trilogy and Arc One books. Arthur C. Clarke’s Islands In The Sky. I could list a hundred more and a hundred more again.  \n1  \nI could mention the last book I read, which crept inside my head and made me view the world in a very different, very creepy way (Kaaron Warren’s Slights, in case you were wondering) . But I won’t. I’m sure that you all have books which have influenced the person you are. If you’re interested in sharing them-and trust me, I’m always interested in hearing about them-hop on over to Hub’s website and let me know.  \nUntil next week, Happy Reading!  \nHub Magazine is Sponsored by Harper Collins  \nFICTION  \nUnder a Bridge  \nby paul fairbairn  \nHis blood was on Vinnie’s suit, spatters of it on the big man’s pale tie and starched cuffs. There was a blade now as well, flashing wedges of yellow light across his face. And yet Johnny was still barely able to glance away from the locked door at the other end of this empty garage. Above, a train clattered across the bridge, making the lights sway lazily on their cords.  \nMichael reappeared, motioning at Vinnie, a brief flick of the head. The gleaming blade, and Vinnie’s shaved skull, retreated.  \nMichael also wore a dark suit and subtle tie, but his clothes weren’t splashed with blood. The privileges of rank, Johnny supposed. Michael had finished his apprenticeship, long ago; now, he could keep his hands – and his suits – clean.  \n‘Why don’t you make it easy on yourself?’ Michael said quietly, his hands","cbCaitRzTzNPlB6A","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitRzTzNPlB6A","pdf",399432,"English","# CONTENTS\n## Fiction\n## Review\n## Feature\n## Editorial\n## Fiction: Under a Bridge","[{\"question\":\"What themes does the editorial emphasize in this issue?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes how books shape identity, broaden empathy, and influence beliefs about courage, integrity, loss, and the responsibilities of humanity.\"},{\"question\":\"Which fiction story is included under the “FICTION” section?\",\"answer\":\"“Under a Bridge” by Paul Fairbairn is listed as the fiction item.\"},{\"question\":\"What feature title is highlighted in this issue?\",\"answer\":\"“Gun For Hire #2” by Guy Adams is listed under the FEATURE section.\"}]","Hub Magazine Issue 82 - 5th April 2009 | PDF",1789970750,11]
