““Everyone always talks about the magic of books being able to take you to other places, to let you see exotic worlds, to make you experience new and interesting things.

From now on, when you read a book, I want you to scream the words of the novel out loud while reading them, then do exactly what the characters are doing in the story. Trust me, it will make books way more exciting. Even dictionaries. Particularly dictionaries.””
