About
Snippet
What
an
astonishing
thing
a
book
is.
It's
a
flat
object
made
from
a
tree
with
flexible
parts
on
which
are
imprinted
lots
of
funny
dark
squiggles.
But
one
glance
at
it
and
you're
inside
the
mind
of
another
person,
maybe
somebody
dead
for
thousands
of
years.
Across
the
millennia,
an
author
is
speaking
clearly
and
silently
inside
your
head,
directly
to
you.
Writing
is
perhaps
the
greatest
of
human
inventions,
binding
together
people
who
never
knew
each
other,
citizens
of
distant
epochs.
Books
break
the
shackles
of
time.
A
book
is
proof
that
humans
are
capable
of
working
magic.
The replay is still saving.
