"Holding a book is a sensory experience: the book has a smell, a feel. And the novel is the place where two beings come together intimately; there, the writer and the reader connect. And it's not a space for everyone, but it's a wonderful moment for those of us who enjoy it."
Paul Auster
I think we under-estimate how many people are miserable because they have no enthusiasms, no hobbies, because they gave up reading and quit learning when school ended. It's shocking how much studying a beloved subject elevates your mood. It will transform your life.
