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.
– Carl Sagan.
