Collapsing time and space! Creating invisible passageways between the depths of one person’s being and another’s! Hyper-charging my intellect! Throwing open the doors of self onto a universe of wider perspectives, so no life has to remain alien to me! Showing me how to see with new eyes! Reminding me of what I treasure, even of what I love without knowing it! Granting me some of the most powerful protection against various dangers! Opening my heart, or revealing its deeper chambers to me! Teaching me without pressure, without tests, using only that which I myself seek! Giving me more power over the world, and over myself! Drowning me in the beauty of language!
Yeah—I like books.
