The Magic of Books: A Bit of Inspiration for 2024
<p>I know of a gifted man who has a “book-a-day” habit. I’m envious. Assuming our lifespans are equal, he’ll get to thousands more books than me. He’ll experience the wonder of finding his very own feelings and thoughts put into words by strangers, even emotions and ideas he unknowingly held. He’ll expand his soul through an act that generates unparalleled intimacy with characters, ideas, emotions, and apt turns of phrases.</p>
<p>That’s the magic of books, whether fiction or nonfiction.</p>
<p>When I read, I highlight segments that deeply struck me and then transcribe them onto a Google doc, to re-read and ponder someday. That someday came a couple of days ago, when I selected seven quotes worth sharing from a few books I read in 2023. I’ll give you the quote, book, author, year published, and what meaning the quote holds for me. All bolds are mine.</p>
