“To read is to fly..."

“To read is to fly: it is to soar to a point of vantage which gives a view over wide terrains of history, human variety, ideas, shared experience and the fruits of many inquiries.” -A C Grayling

To me, this quote means that when you read you get to see a wide array of views. When I read, it is to learn more about people’s experiences, either fiction or non fiction. I get to see peoples opinions, ideas, views and thoughts. I think that reading allows you to see a snapshot of someone's mind. What the author is writing is their thoughts and feelings. Reading shows you the wide diversity of people, and how they react to situations. Every time you read you learn more about people, places and things.
