Books as a Great Connector
So many books, so little time.
A love for books strikes me as a pretty universal feeling, a common denominator amongst peers. Reading books helps us reflect on our personal values and beliefs. It also exposes us to unique experiences and emotions so we can better connect to the world around us.
No matter our economic, political, cultural, or generational backgrounds, I rarely meet a person who doesn't have some thoughts to share about something they've recently read. Those discussions—even with people of varied interests—decrease our isolation and increase our empathy for one another.
"The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read." —Mark Twain
