In 1960, Random House founder Bennett Cerf bet Dr. Seuss $50 that he couldn’t write a best selling book using only 50 different words. That year, he published Green Eggs and Ham, using just 50 words. It has sold over 10 million copies worldwide. Constraints breed creativity. https://t.co/vHXVEC2SIG

@scottmelker I’m obsessed with Andy Weir. Project Hail Mary and The Martian were both fantastic. Just starting reading Artemis (another one of his books) and it is fantastic.
