Why read books?

11/17/2015

A few months ago I visited the Chequamegon Book and Coffee Company in Washburn, Wisconsin. Finding Louise Erdrich’s Books & Islands in Ojibwe Country seemed like serendipity, since I was on my way to Madeline Island, or Mooningwanekaaning, in the Ojibwe language. In this book Erdrich ponders the question of why she loves books. She writes:
Books. Why?
  •             So I can talk to other humans without having to meet them.
  •             Fear of boredom.
  •             So that I will never be alone.
