“When we pass over into how a knight thinks, how a heroine behaves, and
how an evildoer can regret or deny wrongdoing, we never come back quite
the same; sometimes we're inspired, sometimes saddened, but we are
always enriched. Through this exposure we learn both the commonality and
the uniqueness of our own thoughts -- that we are individuals, but not
alone.”
― Maryanne Wolf, Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain
When I first read this book, which I would highly recommend, I was transfixed. Now I want to read it again. If you are at all interested in the science of reading, or if you just want to feel smarter, you need to read this!
