I don't think we should see the world of books as fundamentally separate from the world of the Internet. Yes, the Internet contains a lot of videos of squirrels riding skateboards, but it can also be a place that facilitates big conversations about books. ↗

Within ourselves is not very far and yet it is so far that one's whole life is not always long enough to get there. ↗
