This quote from Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird moves me because I know this feeling. When I was in college, there was a point in time where I wasn't getting a whole lot of reading done. An avid reader for the vast majority of my life, I realized that I wasn't reading at all when I started living with a girl who was always reading 10 different books at once. She knew so much! The conversations I had with her were (are--we still talk!) so lively and so interesting, and I was reminded of how much more fascinating a person is when they are readers. This got me back into reading, and now, I'm always reading 10 books at once as well! Thanks Janie Schumacher!
