To: Loud Mime

I feel that we read to learn new things, sure, absolutely,
but more often than not, what we really get out of the good
books we read is self- recognition.
We read and discover stuff about life that we already knew,
except that we didn’t know we knew it until we read it in a
particular book.
And this self-recognition, this discovering ourselves in
the writings of others can be very exciting, can make us
feel a little less isolated inside our own thing and a
little more connected to the larger world.
