They communicate the past, the present and the future. They help us to understand each other and to realize that others may have experienced the same things that we have which makes us feel less alone.Lisa McQuayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261421741139099750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-51847280131646374582010-11-17T10:04:06.782-05:002010-11-17T10:04:06.782-05:00Sometimes I wonder what non-readers value. Books ...Sometimes I wonder what non-readers value. Books are all about... everything. Thoughts, feelings, ideas, the past we hope we're not doomed to repeat, the future we hope to build... That's not to say movies or music can't be about those things. But often they're not. Now, I love movies and I love music. The best examples, though, are frequently based on books. Do non-readers realize this? Do they value movies and music for exploring the<br />enduring things of books? Or is it all about flash and bang for non-readers? Hmmm...Nichole Christoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799006710672537142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-78185130596088753172010-11-15T17:02:25.593-05:002010-11-15T17:02:25.593-05:00That's sad.

Scout says, "Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing." I don't know what I would do if I couldn't read anymore.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.com
