Lord! when you sell a man a book you don't sell just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life. Love and friendship and humour and ships at sea by night - there's all heaven and earth in a book, a real book. ~Christopher Morley
History is full of stories. In fact, that is how history was passed to us...as stories. Before there was writing, there was oral tradition and cave paintings. Eventually we learned to write and read and we wrote on everything. Stone, sheep skin, papyrus, etc. And the joy of telling nonhistorical stories developed in like manner.
These days, there are millions of stories out there. What amazes me today is that, with all the hundreds of televison channels available to us, how often there truly is "nothing" on TV that's worth watching. Thank God for books! You can always find something interesting to stimulate your brain in a good book.
