“I read now for the same reason I read when I was a little kid: for the sheer joy of transport into a world more interesting, more intense, more colorful, more surprising — that dual virtue of escape and entry. Reading unlocks the worlds that are walking around in other people, to understand other people’s struggles, to see them in three dimensions. Reading lets you live many lives. Think how small the world would be without it. How limited, how blurry, how incomprehensible.”

Janet Fitch, The Los Angeles Review of Books
