“You have to read a book for some reason, and you're not that excited about it, but you're a good person, you're not going to say you read a book when you didn't. So you run your eyes over every single line. And yet, when you get to the end, much more quickly than you should've, you'd be hard-pressed to explain even the basics of the book. It has a main character, and that main character had a problem. Maybe? Things happened, and then the problem resolved. Probably...we didn't really read the book. We saw very page of the book.”

“We read to escape, to learn, to find love, to feel seen. We read to encounter new worlds, to discover new recipes, to find connection across difference, or simply to pass a rainy afternoon. No matter the reason, books have the power to keep us safe, to challenge us, and perhaps most importantly, to make us more fully human.”
