“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.

  1. Where is the coolest place you have ever been because of a book? Greece? Turkey? Argentina? India?

  2. very well done. I found your blog post to be incredibly detailed. there were no grammar or spelling errors. But, I find the font to be a little hard for me to read.

  3. Well said. I found your post very insightful. I too believe that you can obtain many different perspectives by reading. I personally have been taken (by a book)to a forest where I was lost for weeks. What are some places a book has taken you? What are some of the coolest settings you've read about? Great job Tina!
