“We bring our life stories, our prejudices, our grudges, our expectations, and our limitations with us to books….Openness to a book is vital, and openness is simply a willingness to be changed by what we read. This is not as easy as it sounds. Many people read to solidify their own views.” — Siri Hustvedt
