My earliest reading memory
When I was six, I went with my mother and sister to India for the first time, to visit relatives. Here I discovered comics. My cousins were obsessed with Archie comics, which I didn’t really understand but found very readable. My masa gave me my first ever Spider-Man comic on that trip, a classic tale featuring the Green Goblin. I read it over and over again, the entire six weeks we were there.
My favourite book growing up
My mum used to take me to the library every two weeks: she had a Mills & Boon addiction to feed. I had free rein of the library and I worked my way through every single movie tie-in novelisation I could find, as well as expanded universe Star Wars and Star Trek books. I think my most treasured book was The Karate Kid Part III.
