“Time passes, as the novelist says. The single most useful trick of fiction for our repair and refreshment: the defeat of time. A century of family saga and a ride up an escalator can take the same number of pages. Fiction sets any conversion rate, then changes it in a syllable. The narrator’s mother carries her child up the stairs and the reader follows, for days. But World War I passes in a paragraph. I needed 125 pages to get from Labor Day to Christmas vacation. In six more words, here’s spring.” WorldChildrenWarMotherNumbersFictionCenturyReaderNeededSixPagesSpringLaborRateDefeatConversionTricksNovelistsWar Of The WorldsCarrieVacationWorld War IStairsParagraphSyllablesTime PassesSagaNarratorsLabor DayRefreshmentsEscalators Book:Generosity: An Enhancement Source: Generosity: An Enhancement
“I love the book. I love the feel of a book in my hands, the compactness of it, the shape, the size. I love the feel of paper. The sound it makes when I turn a page. I love the beauty of print on paper, the patterns, the shapes, the fonts. I am astonished by the versatility and practicality of The Book. It is so simple. It is so fit for its purpose. It may give me mere content, but no e-reader will ever give me that sort of added pleasure.” GivingFeelsMayBookHandsPurposeTurnsSoundSimplePleasureReaderFitShapesPaperPagesGive MeMereSizePatternsPrintPracticalityVersatilityFonts Author:Susan Hill
