A reader lives a thousand
lives before they die
We read to escape, to hope that maybe one day we could have adventures as our characters do. What we don't see is that we have already done all things in books. We've survived the disasters, sailed to the great unknown, found romance, fought pirates and robots, see things that we couldn't dream. We have been everywhere from the meer corner of our seat. We lived the lives of those in the pages of an old dusty story on a brown wooden shelf, who are people that are only a few words and nothing more.
We read the stories, to become the stories.
