"Feeding the Mind" by Lewis Carroll is an essay from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, that explains why taking care of your mind is as important as taking care of your body. The author, also known for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", uses a fun and thoughtful style to encourage readers to think about what they read. Just like we need to eat healthy foods, we need to feed our minds with good and helpful material. He talks about how reading too much of the wrong stuff is like eating too much junk food; it can hurt your brain. Carroll gives tips on picking good books, stressing the need to enjoy and understand what you read. He wraps up by saying that being careful about what we read helps us grow smarter and is something we owe to ourselves.
