I Quickly Learned That Reading Is Cumulative

As Readers, We Are Seldom Interested In The Fine Sentiments Of A Lesson Learnt; We Seldom Care About The Good Manners Of Morals. Repentance Puts An End To Conversation; Forgiveness Becomes The Stuff Of Moralistic Tracts. Revenge - Bloodthirsty, Justice-hungry Revenge - Is The Very Essence Of Romance, Lying At The Heart Of Much Of The Best Fiction.

If Justice Takes Place, There May Be Hope, Even In The Face Of A Seemingly Capricious Divinity.

The World Encyclopedia, The Universal Library, Exists, And It Is The World Itself.

In Every Literate Society, Learning To Read Is Something Of An Initiation, A Ritualized Passage Out Of A State Of Dependency And Rudimentary Communication.

Existing Libraries, In Their Very Being, Seem To Question The Authority Of Those In Power.
