minus-squareadam_y@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up46·10 months agoThe thing I love about books are that they are machines for empathy. You get to inhabit the lives of other people, see through their eyes and hear their thoughts. It’s an out of one body and into another body experience. During my life I have been a pirate, a clown, a cyborg, and alien…I have been male and female and something that was neither or both. The last thing, given the choice, I want to read about is myself. I already know that story.
