Why We Read

1 Comment

I really do think that one of the things that reading can do for you is give you that habit of reaching out towards other minds and reaching out towards other hearts, and that is a really good habit to have. The more that you come to understand the diversity of experiences, and the range of personality types, and the ways in which our varying cultural backgrounds shape us, I think the more patient you become with other people. The less narrowly, rigidly judgmental you become.
— Alan Jacobs, from the Read-Aloud Revival Podcast
