About This Quote

I build my world with the pages of a book. It is the pages that are the building blocks of my world. As I read, I build my own world. The book takes me to another place where the characters are doing things that I would never do, or remembering things that no one can know.

Sometimes the things that happen in books are so far removed from our own experiences that we cannot imagine them real. But they are real to us because we have built our own worlds around the pages of books.
