I’m glad I didn’t read His Master’s Voice by Stanisław Lem or The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa when I first started writing. If I had, I might have felt that everything I wanted to say had already been written, and I’d wonder why I should bother writing at all. Looking back, it makes sense that reading bad books wasn’t a waste of time; on the other hand, it encouraged me to create something better myself.
