Encountering a good book is like encountering a good teacher

Encountering a good book is like encountering a good teacher.  Reading is a privilege only human beings are endowed with; no other living creature on this planet has the same capacity.  Through reading, we are able to come into contact with hundreds and thousands of lives other than our own, and to commune with sages and philosophers who lived as long as two millennia ago.
