A Reader

"The highest reward for reading a good book is not what you get from it, but what you become by reading it."♥

"Read aloud to a child and you become a child, listening to the words as you speak. Whom then is really doing the reading? Your mother perhaps, or her father, or his mother. Down, down the generations and over the water and beyond, the words that create and sustain civilization make their way back into the past. The story you tell and the story of your telling it become words spun form sugar ---- or thin air- --- into bridges."
