About This Quote

When you read a book and its words agree with what you think, your view of the world or your feelings at the time, you discover that there are people out there that think like you. That takes away a feeling of loneliness. We often feel alone when we read a book and feel completely different from the characters in the book. We want to know that they have been through the same things we have been through, that they have felt the way we felt, and that they have lived their lives in a manner similar to how we have lived ours. Reading a book can give us a feeling of being connected to others, but it only works if the words in the book match up with what we believe is true.
