For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn’t enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that’s exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He’s the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool

      Nei Degrasse Tyson on the other hand is the nicest guy. Used to live near him and had a few short conversations. Always made time for people and is a genuinely cool dude.

        He really is.

        Shame he ends up being the- “well achsssually” guy in online Twitter interactions. Sort of blunts the humble effect.

          He strikes me as a highschool teacher that’s really out of touch and can’t turn off their job.
