Maybe reading was just a way to make her feel less alone, to keep her company. When you read something you are stopped, the moment is stayed, you can sometimes be there more fully than you can in your real life.

About This Quote

When someone is alone, they are in a sort of distress. Sometimes, reading can be a way to make them feel less alone. Reading can also bring someone back to the present so they are not so lonely. The idea of being alone can be scary at times because you do not know what will happen to you. Reading can help you to know what will happen next.
