I love this whole essay!! Chuckled out loud at "Life is too short to read shitty books. Put that on a bumper sticker somewhere." Books are life! Or at the very least, life for me is utterly unimaginable without them. p.s. I thought about this some more. In some ways I believe conversation is life! I call it the "whole darn karmic enchilada." A favourite quotation: “It’s one of the secrets of the world. We all have the key to one another’s locks. But until we start to talk, we don’t know it.” – Michael Silverblatt https://www.kcrw.com/people/michael-silverblatt
