Reading fiction is
important.
It is a vital means of imagining a life other than our own,
which in
turn makes us more empathetic beings.
Following complex story lines stretches
our brains beyond the 140 characters of sound-bite thinking,
and staying within
the world of a novel gives us the ability to be quiet and alone,
two skills
that are disappearing faster than the polar icecaps.
