TOP READING BOOKS
”As you read a book word by word and page by page, you participate in its creation, just as a cellist playing a Bach suite participates, note by note in the creation, the coming-to-be, the existence of the music. And as you read and re-read the book of course participates in the creation of you, your thoughts and feelings
– Ursula K. Le Guin
