Mylanie Silad asked Jonathan Shapiro:

Why is it important to read books?

Jonathan Shapiro Reading books is how we learn to live with ourselves and other people. It is the means by which we develop an inner life and recognize our soul and the soul's of every human being who has ever lived. How else would we meet and truly get to know the Schlegel sisters, Huck Finn, or Lord Jim? My life would have been incomplete had I never know Sydney Carlton or Kohelth. I cannot imagine life without a sense of humor or the ability to read books.
