““She has read not just for distraction, sustenance, to pass the time, but she has read in a state of primal innocence, reading for enlightenment, for instruction, even. She has read to discover what it is to be good or bad; she has read to find out if things are the same for others as they are for her – then, discovering frequently they are not, she has read to find out what it is that other people experience that she is missing.””
