Reading books to me is one of the biggest joys in all of life. Whether it’s fiction where you get lost in another world or nonfiction where you feel like you’re getting life advice and having coffee with someone you’d never otherwise meet, there is no end to the fullness and joy and wonder reading books can bring. When I look back on my life so far, it’s fair to say that books, without a doubt, have been the most profound and dramatic life-shaping and -forming variable in my life.
