I was contacted last week by a good friend of mine from High School. Abi does short interviews with all kinds of people on all kinds of topics using SpareMin. This week she wanted to interview different people about the value of literature and she asked if I’d have a couple minutes to talk with her. Of course, I said, “Yes!”
As I thought about the topic, there was no lack of ideas that came to mind, but the three that made their way to the top of my list were these:
- Books teach empathy.
- Books can validate our own experience.
- Books give us an emotional vocabulary.
