Books Quote by Andrew Piper
““Reading is never purely an act of isolation. When we read, we enter into a world of commonality, whether of language, story, or material object. Reading socializes. “To us these marvelous tales have been told,” begins the great medieval German epic The Nibelungenlied.””
