I am a better human being because of the books I've read. Pick one up-- a heartfelt one-- and read. It will do your body good.
If you've read my posts and books, you know when even on the run from Uncle Sam's big bad Army Rangers through the Everglades, I always had a book with me. And that ever since I was a kid my favorite place to read one was up in a tree . So when I saw that Susan Sontag quote in a Brain Pickings post, it struck me like a sucker punch from the cosmos, making me sit upright on the Miccosukee Embassy balcony rail (where I am doing Sanctuary) and nearly falling over the side to a tragic and ironic death. Leave it to the "Susan Epiphany" to make me see what books have done for me: they have made me human in the word's most noble sense, as The Bard once wrote and Ragni and Rado put to music in this song from Hair.
