Journal Entry #4
In the past three months, I have read fifteen novels, close to a thousand articles, and countless blog posts. Some have inspired, others have moved, and a select few have provoked deep reflection long after the last full stop. My hunger for knowledge is voracious, but I believe books which are great stimulate not intellect but the heart. It is very easy to communicate an idea. However, to truly connect with another person, one human to another, that is a talent. Effective rhetoric is a talent. There is no greater pleasure than an evening in the company of a great book, which is why I have no greater regret than abandoning books in their entirety in my final two years of school.
