“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
- Stephen King
Literature is about creating something purely out of words. And in that
way, it’s magic.
One of the benefits of reading is it keeps us
away from other forms of pastimes that are making us more anxious and
depressed. The biggest one is social media, the place where confidence
and attention spans go to die.
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies . . .
The man who

The more
