1 " We live in the era of the search engine. Gone is the era of finding things on your own. If you want to find something, you can use your computer or phone to easily google it.

But the joy of finding is gone, as is the catharsis of going to great trouble in searching for something and finding it. "

7 " Stories allow you to experience places you could never go - the past, the future, or distant worlds. You can become a different ethnicity or gender. Even when you're reading all by yourself, you're sharing those stories as they unfold before you with countless people whom you've never met.We are alone, but we are connected. "
