"What an astonishing
thing a book is. It's a flat
object made from a tree
with flexible parts on
which are imprinted lots
of funny dark squiggles.
But one glance at it and
you're inside the mind of
another person, maybe
somebody dead for
thousands of years.
Across the millennia, an
author is speaking clearly
and silently inside your
head, directly to you.
Writing is perhaps the
greatest of human
inventions, binding
together people who
never knew each other,
citizens of distant epochs.
Books break the shackles
of time. A book is proof
that humans are capable
of working magic. "
